| 2024-11-12 |  | | en | Love this extension. I just saved $20 on a photo book at shutterfly, and had a donation made to my local animal shelter. Easy to install, and I don't have to think about it. Whenever I buy something online, a donation gets made in my name, with the store paying. Lots of stores too... shutterfly, staples.com, ticketmaster, bestbuy, as examples. I've told several friends because it is a 'why not' . 100% thumbs up. (and I don't get spammed by them either!) |
| 2024-11-08 |  | | en | I've been a user for just over a month, and have already generated more than $50 in donations - for free. I already buy a bunch of stuff online, so now with Givefreely, I'm paying the same price, but my favorite charity (Scituate Animal Shelter) gets a donation. I've already told a bunch of people about it. |
| 2024-11-08 |  | | en | Absolutely love this extension. With all the ugly politics of an election season, it's great to see things like Give Freely. A friend mentioned it to me last month, and I installed it on my iPhone and laptop. It's already saved me $20 on a bookcase I was buying, but what I like the best is that when I shop on lots of different stores, it just pops up to let me know that the store is donating to *my* favorite charity when I buy. That's pretty cool. I don't have to remember anything, and I'm not part of the "give freely community" that is generating donations. They even send me a nice email after each purchase letting me know that the donation has been made. 100% recommend it! |
| 2024-10-16 |  | | en | They keep sending an email they haven't heard from the charity I selected. I checked with the charity and they have received no correspondence from Give Freely. Is this a scam? Yes I have already made a purchase and they will send the donation to them. Oh yeah the coupon did work. |
| 2024-06-29 |  | | en | My new favorite extension. Stores donate when I shop online. Like AmazonSmile but on tons of stores. Hey Give Freely: I buy a lot on etsy... can you add them as a store? |
| 2024-05-24 |  | | en | I think this looks dangerous for privacy and security. |
| 2024-04-23 |  | | en | The privacy policy for this extension contradicts the privacy and security assurances given in the description. This extension can read and change all of the web pages you visit, including banking and commerce sites. This extension installs the Sentry.io application monitoring software which, when installed by an extension, monitors vastly more than is needed for the advertised funtions of the extesion. I strongly recommend not using Give Freely. |
| 2024-05-07 |  | | en | I LOVE IT |
| 2024-04-26 |  | | en | Love the concept - amazing way to help support causes I care about. Downloaded the extension, easy to implement and already working for me. |
| 2024-04-24 |  | | en | This is really cool idea, which reminds me of the (now cancelled!!) Amazon Smile program. Simply by having a small extension installed, a fraction of the purchases you make will go to your favorite charities. It is an easy way to help groups in your life with very low effort. Thumbs down for Amazon cancelling Smile. Thumbs UP for Give Freely creating a better, easier, and expanded version! |
