What is Smile Always?

Smile Always is a Chrome extension designed to simplify charity contributions while shopping on Amazon. By automatically redirecting all Amazon pages to smile.amazon.com, a portion of the user's eligible purchases is donated to a charity of their choice. Smile Always is committed to privacy, by not collecting any user information. The extension supports international Amazon websites too, including Amazon.de and Amazon.co.uk. Please note that due to Amazon sunsetting the Amazon Smile program, the extension will not function past 2/20/2023.
