TabFund - Raise Funds for Research by Opening Tabs

TabFund is a unique Chrome extension that transforms web browsing into a philanthropic activity. Each new tab opened signifies a contribution towards research funding. As more tabs are opened, users accrue 'tab points' representing ad-revenue collectively used for supporting research projects. Users can choose their donation's destination by selecting appropriate research subjects. At every trimester's end, raised funds are allocated to these projects, and users receive an impact report detailing their supported research's progress.
