From TechCrunch: Ecosia believes Chrome is on track to generate $1 trillion over the next decade.
I can see Chrome being profitable in the hands of Google, but separating Chrome from Googles ad business would remove the profitability. Chrome on it's own isn't going the generate any profit.
i got through about half the list before i realized that these are all just general articles against carbon offsets (which, i think, in general, are very stupid compared to regulating energy usage). i thought you had a specific point about the behavior of Ecosia and i was curious because i've applied there in the past and find it an interesting company (planting trees is... good? usually? if done right?).
