I've been using Tab for a Cause at work for several years now, and it's become a natural part of my daily routine. Since I open a lot of tabs throughout the day, it’s nice to know that something as simple as that can contribute to a good cause. It doesn’t interfere with my workflow at all—just a small adjustment like remembering to go directly to Google when I need to search, since the default Yahoo search doesn’t always give me the results I want. I also enjoy the monthly leaderboard—it’s a fun little challenge to see how many points I can rack up. Over time, I’ve noticed some great improvements and new features from the Tab for a Cause team, which makes me feel even better about continuing to use it.

Gamification of doing simple things that earn tiny amounts for charity. It all adds up. This hasn't caused me any issues and it's been a source of a nice feeling, if only really that. They also have search and buy for a cause which raises them 4X as much or more. Just a clever idea and well executed

I use Tab for a Cause for work, and have for several years now, since I often open so many tabs during my normal workflow. I like knowing that I'm making a positive impact (even a small one!) just by doing my normal every day work and it's had very minimal impact on my workflow to open up these tabs instead of the standard new tab pages in Google Chrome (the only thing I've had to learn to do is go to Google first when searching, since the yahoo search used for these tabs doesn't often give me what I am looking for). The leaderboard is fun and I like to see how many points I can get in a month before I donate all the points on the last day of the month. I've enjoyed the added features and improvements that the Tab for a Cause team have added over the last few years.

Works well, the pictures are beautiful, and if we help people by doing what we already usually do all the best. I recommend it.

I've used Tabs for a Cause for over 11 years, and it's a great extension. You passively earn money for your selection out of a group of charities just by opening browser tabs. The landing page is also a useful backdrop for bookmarks, which I use constantly.

Had it for a few months now, approaching a year. Started lagging my PC harder than actual malware, and that isn't a joke or an exaggeration. Could ignore that if it weren't for the fact it A. takes 30% of the 2 million USD it has earned for charities and gives it to itself, and mentions this in one lone place, the fine print. The site needs upkeep, the people need to be payed, but 600k?? B. Gamification, and corruption. They've added multiple different small updates since I first joined this, one of which is browser games you can play to earn "hearts" the same thing you get for opening a new tab. These translate to individual cents, which you can give to individual charities - but no, that "heart" you donated just sends a message saying "increase the donations to This Charity" meaning you have nearly no impact on what charities get how much. Instead, everybody involveds' vote splits it between the different charities. You, as a person, have little to no impact - while if I recall correctly, it says that You as a *single* person can have an impact in the description. C. Overstretching. It has too many charities. If you give someone 5 USD and 5 homeless people to donate it to, either they'll split it evenly, and nobody will be grateful, or they'll give it all to one person and feel bad about it. If the charities are getting money in the first place, then they're certainly not getting much D. Not the final nail in the coffin, but moreso the final shovelful of dirt on the grave, a collection of minor feedbacks: User interface downgrade, the ability to donate to political charities, difficulty swapping between focused causes, and the sub-addon, search for a cause, being based off yahoo search, even though I told it to be based on google search (yahoo search has pretty much only adverts for the first 6 pages, I counted) It's a good enough addon, but I think I've looked a gift horse in the mouth and found teeth. Either that or I should have been more suspicious at first. This is actually, unironically, too good of an idea to be true

The new UI is inconvenient, strangely formatted, and not at all visually appealing. Instead of having bookmarks appear as buttons in the center you can instantly press, you have to open a submenu. Instead of having a visible and central search bar as the focal point, it's shoved into a corner. Its downscaled size means you can only see around 4 words at a time while typing. Not to mention, now you see more of the ads than the actual home page content, and they are framed so strangely. Everything you do to interact with the tab is shoved into the top left corner, meanwhile the right side of the screen has two ads, and the bottom of the screen has an ad as well. The center is left empty aside from an unnecessary clock (there's a clock on the bottom right of every pc screen...) Hello? I'm in my browser to search, not to look at mediocre attempts at aesthetic appeal with some ads for extra glamour.

I love tab for a cause, it makes me feel like I'm doing something by doing nothing. However, I am sad because it doesn't work with firefox and I'm trying to move away from some of the companies that make all these causes need so much support. Thanks for making a great thing anyways.

It doesn't work when you have an AdBlocker, just FYI.
