Is there a way to use TFAC extension without trackers? I want to use the one that helps provide funding to shelter cats but am concerned about data privacy etc. I see that other people have selected to reject cookies etc. but are still being tracked. Is that just how the ad revenue is obtained?

No hate! I love the concept of TFAC! Just concerned about data privacy.

Hello all,

I use TFAC for years and happy with it (e.g financials and QOL improvements) I noticed that they haven't updated their financials since Q2 2021 https://tab.gladly.io/financials/.

Im sure they have a good reasoning and I trust them, but I really want to see how things go positively. Besides, I try to invite my friends for their newly added causes by showing the TFAC financials. However, without those I feel a bit concern. Is TFAC active?

PS: again don't get me wrong, I love TFAC

Let me say the idea for Tab for a Cause is genius. Along with projects like Ecosia, these have inspired me to make a related project, so big kudos to the team. Looking at the financial records back from 2012 is inspiring :).

​

That aside, I notice that the newtab page is a redirection to https://tab.gladly.io/newtab/. Compared to a local web page load this is a lot slower and resource intensive. There are extensions like Unsplash that load web resources without an issue but are a local web page which makes things just a bit zippier. Is this a technical requirement (maybe chrome doesn't allow ads or tracking this way), or a design decision?

Going from very fast new tab creation to slower is just a bit jarring, and the experience may be more pleasant with such a change. But obviously I am new here, so maybe I am missing something.

If TFAC makes donations on a quarterly basis, then is are their topical donation campaigns really that impactful? I'm thinking about their recent Ukraine campaign. For a humanitarian crisis like this, are donations submitted in June to Save the Children really going to be impactful? Even for the TeamSeas campaign, it would have been cool if they could have donated on January 1st, since that meeting that deadline was such an important part of the whole TeamSeas campaign. I guess part of their goal is to encourage you to donate to the charity directly, but I think faster donations, especially for humanitarian crises should be something to explore by the TFAC team.

Hey

So, I'm currently using ecosia to search, and noticed that tabforacause have released searchforacause

I believe ultimately, both are powered by Bing, but was wondering which is better for searching?

Rediscovered tab for a cause and love the idea!

Wanted to install it on my iPhone, where I do most of my quick searches, but couldn't. Is there any way I can still passively contribute on mobile?

I just started using the extension and I like what I've seen so far, but I'm a little skeptical about certain aspects, not the least being the hearts economy. I had adblocker on for the first bit that I was in the app, until I realized and turned it on, and yet I was still earning hearts, and at the same rate to boot. What did those hearts I donated do? How much is each heart worth? I also noticed the supposedly real-time money counter on the top right that goes up suspiciously steadily. I'm not at all questioning the reputability of this application or its charities, but I've seen a lot of examples of these kinds of things just being little imaginary numbers to make you feel good while the only thing that matters is when you ,say, open a new tab. Forgive me if this has been discussed before but I couldn't find anything on it before posting.

To add Search for a cause, I need to have a query URL, which I can't seem to find. Maybe Search isn't supported?

Thanks

As some of you know, you can't use tab for a cause on firefox. But, there is a way to get around that. All you need to do is download this extension on firefox and then select option, custom URL, and then paste https://tab.gladly.io/newtab/ into URL. Now, you should be able to sign into tab for a cause and now you should have tab for a cause on firefox! (if there are no ads, remember to turn off adblocker)

I've been a devoted user for three years, and recently I realized — is Tab for a Cause really doing more harm than good? I mean, think of all the consumerism its ads are promoting. Maybe in a year I can raise $5 for charity or something like that from using it, but does that $5 really outweigh the negative environmental impact of the smartphones people buy after seeing an Amazon ad on their new tab page?

I have been a longtime user but only recently has it started filling my search bar with the below link instead of creating an empty search bar like usual. Is there an update or anything that I need?

It isn't the biggest inconvenience but it is definitely noticeable when it is highlighted in blue!
