About

Carbon Cut Search automatically prevents AI-generated summaries on Google Search, reducing carbon emissions from energy-intensive AI processing. Works silently in the background - no setup needed.

🌱 HOW IT WORKS

The extension modifies your Google Search URLs to request web results only, preventing AI summaries from being generated. You still get all your search results, just without the AI processing overhead. Everything happens locally in your browser - no data is collected or stored.

✨ KEY FEATURES

• Works automatically after installation
• Zero data collection
• No tracking or ads
• Lightweight and privacy-focused

🔒 PRIVACY

No data collection, no tracking, no external servers. The extension only modifies Google Search URLs - nothing more.

🌍 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

AI processing requires significant energy. By preventing AI summaries, each search uses less energy and produces fewer carbon emissions.

📋 USAGE

Install and it works automatically. To disable: click the puzzle piece icon in Chrome's toolbar, find "Carbon Cut Search", and toggle it off. You can also manage it at chrome://extensions/
