      <p>At Overbrowsing, we use a practice-led approach that blends academic research with real-world application. Our open-source projects respond to the environmental impact of digital practices, evolving as we test ideas and refine solutions. We don't just theorise about web sustainability—we build tools that drive real change.</p>
