Extension summary

The Gener8 extension empowers you to control and be rewarded for your data.

Simply add it to your browser, create an account, and select a mode of your choice: In 'Rewards mode,' you earn points by browsing the Internet as you usually would.

You can spend your Gener8 points on real-world rewards: exclusive deals, auctions, gift cards, free products, or even donate them to charity.

We also limit big tech from tracking you, reject annoying cookie banners, and block intrusive ads.

In Privacy Mode, you get all the benefits of Rewards Mode without earning points. Choose this mode if you'd like a completely private browsing experience.

The choice is yours.

I truly like this idea of Gener8 to include us also in the Network Marketing strategy, because Afterall that's exactly what Cookies do. Cookies are design to make more money through Public usage of the internet and we are thinking there is something good in it for us by excepting all the Cookies for ne return.

I'm still in love with my old Pug face mask with filter! Actually, I sent two by mistake. There are also fantastic voucher auctions. I also enjoy it when websites include pugs in place of advertisements.
