I've had this extension installed for a few years now on most of my browser identities on most of my machines, but yesterday I accidentally followed a link on my work laptop that someone else had sent me, and clicked on my cart from there... and sadly, I made the first Amazon purchase without a Smile donation that I've made since they started the program. See, that's the only problem with this extension... it is so very, very good at it's job that you'll forget you have it and forget to install it somewhere and then *bam* Amazon makes 1% more profit than they deserve off my purchase. I'm a software developer myself, so I'd like to extend my gratitude to the author for years of service with absolutely no problems or need for support, ever. I thank you, and if the National Center for Transgender Equality could thank you, they would too. Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to go share a link to your extension with all my Facebook friends, telling them they should have installed this the first time I told them about it a few years ago ;)

Was great while supported by Amazon. Thanks for making charity easier, amazonsmileredirect.com, and best of luck with development going forward~

Does what it says, and does it reliably well. Extension mostly lets you forget it's there, which is exactly the idea. However, sometimes it takes too long to redirect, and the experience is quite slow and jarring. Perhaps, this could be achieved in a different way in the future.
