IdleForest

Meet IdleForest

IdleForest is a browser extension that uses spare internet bandwidth to generate funding for tree planting and other environmental projects. After installation, it runs while the browser is open. The service explains that participating companies pay for access used in tasks involving public websites, and that revenue helps support its project partners.

Users can explore partner initiatives, join a cause, and follow contribution information through the platform. Public transparency reports describe supported planting work and related activity. IdleForest offers a way to participate without a direct subscription or donation, with the contribution instead tied to sharing unused network capacity through the extension.
