On this same route, we can also note that the lowest energy consumption for your batteries is that of Qwant (tied with Ecosia) due to a faster route. Nevertheless, we note that the memory consumption used by Ecosia is 1.5 times greater on the user’s smartphone in this scenario than the average of other engines. On a basic search, it will cost you a 50% higher battery impact with DuckDuckGo and 6 times more data received than with Ecosia. These results are nevertheless very disparate between the different solutions since if on Ecosia the 2 types of research have almost the same impact, it is 2.3 times more important for Google and 4.4 times more for Lilo for example. The second place goes to Google (0.192 gEqCO2) which consumes 13% more than Ecosia. Therefore, prefer a search by URL (if you know it!) without going through the search results page in order to save energy and data!įor this first comparison, we recommend using Ecosia, which is the most efficient engine here, all research combined (0.167 gEqCO2) with a standard deviation of 0.377 gEqCO2 with the least sober in the DuckDuckGo ranking (0.5433 gEqCO2). On average, there is a 35% reduction in the carbon impact. This is not a surprise and it is always better to measure it, we observe that a search by URL consumes much less on all the measured search engine applications.
StartPage does not appear in this ranking due to a display fault on the Fnac site. Only two applications do not permit direct URL access: StartPage and Yahoo. However, since this is a subject that has a direct economic impact, we could imagine that these companies have designed optimized systems so that the purchase of machines and their operation don’t cost them too much!įor this first comparison, two scenarios are carried out here: on the one hand we launch a search for the keyword “Fnac” and on the other we launch a search by URL “”, allowing us to directly access the site, without going through the search results. We know that some engines use low-energy servers, optimized cooling, “green” electricity… That others better protect your privacy or even finance associations and important causes … We have not had access to the data center of our respondents, and we, therefore, made assumptions based on activity projections based on the volume exchanged. Our advice for an eco-responsible searchĭisclaimer: we only measure the user device activity, its inputs/outputs, and project the network and server impacts on the basis of an average impact methodology (see methodology section).Comparison between search engines using a web browser.Comparison of a basic search according to several criteria.W ebsite search vs URL search comparison.
