User reviews

Tab for a Cause is praised for enabling effortless charitable donations through daily browsing, offering transparency, and user customization. However, users report issues with recent UI updates causing functionality problems, insufficient developer support, stability concerns on Edge, and some performance slowdowns. Additionally, certain users are cautious about specific charities included. Overall, it is valued for its mission and easy integration despite technical hiccups.

Pros

Allows users to donate to charity by simply opening new tabs, making charitable giving easy and accessible.
The extension is unobtrusive with minimal and non-intrusive ads that do not interfere with browsing experience.
Good customization features including changing backgrounds and choosing causes to support.
Transparent about where donations go, building trust with users.
Works well to motivate users by tracking 'hearts' or points that can be donated to causes.

Cons

Recent updates caused bugs such as the impact counter not counting new tabs correctly.
Poor developer support with unanswered inquiries and slow resolution of bugs.
Stability issues and occasional login problems, especially when used on Edge browser.
Potential concerns regarding the inclusion of certain controversial charities (e.g., Planned Parenthood) which may deter some users.
Some users experienced slower computer performance after installation.

Proposta excelente. Entretanto, não tem tradução para o português nativamente, mas pode ser facilmente traduzida no navegador. Também não me parece tão estável. Acho que deveriam dar mais atenção ao desenvolvimento da extensão.

really good except for the fact that I got two people using this with my link but I didnt get any hearts for it meaning I will not recruit more people if you dont get hearts even though you say you are going to. Please can you change this and maybe find a way to donate more to charity.
