Tipjar is a browser extension that makes it easy to give money directly to your favorite sites and creators. When the site you have open accepts direct contributions, you'll see a green money icon in your browser's toolbar. All you have to do is click it, and you'll be sent to the appropriate page. Tipjar isn't a payment processor, only a referral/discovery tool, so it doesn't take a cut of payments or require that sites set up complicated accounts to receive money.

Tipjar looks for code in the page's header that links to a donation/support page. If one isn't found, the extension will check its internal list of sites for an available option. Tipjar can also detect a variety of other payment options (cryptocurrency, Scroll, etc.), and will display buttons for them if available.

Please submit sites that support direct donations to tipjar@fire.fundersclub.com!

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Tipjar - Support sites and creators requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Tipjar - Support sites and creators may not be trust-worthy. Avoid installing if possible unless you really trust this publisher.
