Extension summary

HeroTab Raise money for your favorite nonprofits with every browser tab you open!

➤ How it works

HeroTab transforms your “new tab” page. Each time you open a tab, you will be greeted with a new image, the amount raised, and a small banner ad. We collect ad revenue from the page and use it to donate to the causes you are supporting! HeroTab is feeding families, protecting coastlines, planting trees, fighting for social justice, and more just by surfing the web.

This is such a simple tool and let's you give to so many causes. My favorite thing is the homepage (beautiful images) and how I know all about where the money I raise is going! I've already planted 2 trees, protected coastline, and fed people in need just in the background of my day. Everyone should have HeroTab!
