A few days ago, the well-known search engine Ecosia company said that in order to meet the coming of the World Earth Day, the company will launch a new Ecosia browser with the same name, focusing on "the world's most environmentally friendly browser", which means that the energy consumption performance of the browser will be greatly reduced, which is indeed quite attractive.
It is reported that the new Ecosia browser will be based on Google's open-source Chromium project, and will also bring users more browser customization options. In order to achieve a smaller and more compact experience, Ecosia allows users to remove widgets such as popular websites or climate change, further reducing the energy consumption of other features of the browser, which is naturally closer to environmental goals.
In addition, Ecosia has brought basic things like a built-in ad blocker, optimized running speeds, and page loading speeds up to three times faster than most major browsers, giving users a more efficient browser experience. Especially when it comes to browser ads, fewer ads will also mean that users don't need to use as much data and energy. The official will also protect the privacy of every user by blocking trackers, and the optimization effect of these functions is obviously very attractive to us ordinary users.
According to the official data, their Ecosia uses solar farms in their operations, and every browser user can generate 25Wh of green energy when browsing the web every day, which is enough to provide a light bulb to be on for 3 hours. At present, the search engine has more than 20 million users, and if they all use this browser in the future, the overall power saving value will naturally be very considerable.
