Congratulations @daniiba !

I downloaded this, even though I've never planted a tree in real life yet :)

Really interested idea to drive a combination of technology and environment-protection! Can't wait to see my first tree!

Interesting concept. How does it work? What is the excess bandwidth used for?

Hi Daniel,


Can you share how the extension is interacting with the computer. What data is sent back to Idleforest and your third parties. Also, how the bandwidth is being utilized by the third parties? Will a lot of unknowns, this extension gives me pause in allowing this to run in a corporate environment.

Wow, this is such a brilliant and healing idea! 🌿💡 Turning unused bandwidth into trees is pure genius—what a creative way to make a positive impact without even trying. Congrats on the launch! Can’t wait to see forests grow while I browse. ✨

Projects with social or environmental impact are always a green light for me. I know Ecosia has a similar project. Were you inspired by them, or are you offering something on TOP [in terms of eco improvements]?
