Daniel Rem. (ID: 0000004d7f4a3483) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 05/10/2021 Well-made app. Like other says, a "how it works" page would be good, to know how the footprint grades calculated. + An Improvement I`d made is that the app shows me the carbon footprint of the websites before I click to them (In the search engine), so we can be aware of "dirty" websites :)

Fabien Gourlin (ID: 000000a516ae0c6b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/11/2020 It's great ! Some websites are scary when you browse them. Being a developer it allows me to see the carbon status of a page that I develop as I go along, very useful :)
