Hi. I wasn’t sure where to post this, hopefully this is the right area. In lemmy’s opinion, what’s the best eco/environmentally friendly web browser? Basically low on resources, saves battery, etc. Private and secure is a bonus.

      Yeah, but the battery usage due to the browser causes negligible pollution compared to the construction of the device and the operation of servers.

        But I don’t include only electricity and battery pollution.

        It is like say that a video game only have impact in that.

        A web browser can put a computer into a stress to make you buy new RAM modules (to increase it) or dedicated graphics card in some case.

        Sometimes, even change your current hard drive with a SSD.

        This can be showed in offices easily where no so much resources are needed at all.
