Black Google Is A Nice Green Option For Search

So apparently, back in the day, there was a black search engine designed to save power, making your phone greener.

Black Google Mobile search saves battery power, loads faster, uses less bandwidth which saves money, reduces eye strain and looks awesome! Give your battery a break by searching with Black Google, developed by Search Ninja.

A group of developers worked on a dark version of google so you could save your battery by just doing all of your searcheds through their webiste. Previously known as bGog.com, you can now find them at https://black.srch.ninja/. they were regarded as being the first dark version of the popular search engine back in 2011.

Looking at the results they deliver, they ay their results are actually ‘enhanced by Google’ and they don’t deliver an exact copy of Google reults, so they’re actually a credible independent search engine at this stage. Srch.ninja actually comes with a choice of colours: pink, purple, black (of course), blue, orange, green, red and yellow. In addition to the extra colours, there are also a variety of countries and languages you can search in too.

Search Ninja colour options

According to Search Ninja, “[m]ost display technologies consume more power displaying the color white than the color black. For most screen types the brightness is proportional to battery use and displaying all white backgrounds draws more power as it is an energy intensive color.” So basically, if we can use more energy efficient screen colours, we can save batery power.

Not only does dark mode save power, it also saves your eyes. Especially at night, setting your background to dark with light text gives your eyes a rest. If you haven’t tried it, do it today and it will change your life forever. Thankfully, more and more apps (on smartphone and PC) are offering a dark mode, helping you save power and your eyes.

It’s a bit of a stretch to say we’d also be saving the planet, but every little helps as the supermarket says. If we charge our phones less, that’s less energy used and if that helps our batteries to last longer, that’s fewr batteries we need to recycle.  

So you can see people have been thinking dark mode saves batery power and worked to create apps wthat make smartphones work in dark mode. Just a few years ago, Google confirmed that dark mode does actually save battery life.

Go black, go green.
