Our relationship with 4ocean is easier to understand when the roles stay separate. Wave Browser is the browser business whose portion of revenue helps fund the work. 4ocean operates cleanup activities through its crews and equipment. You use the browser and read the published progress with its date and scope attached.
Three Roles in the Same Claim
Wave Browser’s role is funding. 4ocean’s role is carrying out cleanup work. The reader’s role is to understand what the published number means and decide whether the information matters to their choice of browser.
The relationship does not assign a personal cleanup total to a user. We do not publish a formula that converts a search, click, tab, session, download, or page view into a quantity of material removed. The environmental connection is a business-level funding relationship.
What the Public Sources Say
The 4ocean partnership page describes the partnership and the funding relationship.
Our April 2026 announcement describes the reported milestone and the types of cleanup support involved, including crews, boats, recovery equipment, sorting, and processing.
As of April 15, 2026, we had helped remove over 100,000 lbs of plastic and trash from our ocean, rivers, and coastlines worldwide. We have also committed to support the removal of 300,000 lbs by 2028. The first statement is a dated milestone; the second is a future commitment. They should not be merged into one completed total.
How to Read the Live Impact Tracker
The Live Impact Tracker is a place to view partnership progress and environmental milestones. It is not a personal counter and does not establish how much cleanup any one browsing action causes. Carry the date and the source whenever you repeat a number, and check the current page before treating a later figure as comparable with the April 15 milestone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does using Wave Browser create a personal cleanup total?
No. The published relationship is funded at the business level. It does not assign a cleanup amount to a search, click, session, tab, download, or individual user.
Is the 300,000 lbs figure already completed?
No. It is our commitment to support removal by 2028. It is separate from the dated milestone of over 100,000 lbs reported as of April 15, 2026.
Who performs the cleanup work?
4ocean operates the cleanup work. Wave Browser helps fund that work through the stated portion-of-revenue relationship.
Keep the Roles and Dates Visible
A clear environmental claim names the funder, the operator, the date, the unit, and the difference between work already reported and work still promised. That is how we want readers to understand our partnership and its progress.
