## Browser-based carbon tools for websites 
The following is a list of websites that try to estimate the carbon footprint of a web page or website. 
•	https://www.websitecarbon.com/
•	https://ecograder.com/
•	https://ecoping.earth/
•	https://greenframe.io/ 
•	https://globemallow.io/#api 

## Browser extensions

### Website reporting extensions 

* **Beacon** (https://digitalbeacon.co/). Developer tool to evaluate the environmental impact of a web page. 
* **Globemallow** (https://globemallow.io/#home). Grades a web page on its environmental impact.
* **GreenIT Analysis** (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/greenit-analysis/mofbfhffeklkbebfclfaiifefjflcpad). Adds a Green Software analysis tab to the developer tools.
* **Website Footprint** (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/website-footprint/jlpnojjijmliogpegigbllcnpckflnik). Very simple plugin that measures the emissions for a web page and gives it a grade.

### Browsing habits extensions 
* **CO2RD** (https://ecord.info/). Can be edited to use the UK grid to calculate emissions.
* **Pebble** (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/eco%E2%82%82rd/abgangmjmkjbpimkgnlbbhkellcekegj). Can be edited to uses the average European grid to calculate emissions.
* **WeDeex** (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wedeex/ojlagggckhpedblhemgjhecbggnibale). Uses the French grid to calculate emissions. "HOW IS THE POWER GENERATION QUALITY INDICATOR CALCULATED? *In every area where we operate, we collect real-time production data from grid operators. We then analyze the quantities provided by each production type and compute them into a real-time carbon emission rate from power production, expressed in kgCO2/kWh. This real-time emission rate is then compared to the past and near future to determine if the current situation is good or not, and if you should try to delay your consumption or on the opposite, take the opportunity to charge your batteries or run a washing machine.*"
