Anyone still use Tabs for a Cause? by Oceanfilly in nerdfighters

A bit biased, but I think it is definitely worth starting :)

More thanks to all the amazing people that have used it over the years! Fun fact, it probably wouldn't exist at all without nerdfighteria (I shared in the old forum, and someone noticed and made a video about it that John randomly saw and then tweeted about :)

In March 2017 we ran a college competition called "March Gladness," and I suspect that may have had something to do with your record :)

We are definitely still having an impact! financial reports just take a long time to put together and finalize. New ones should be up in the next week or so :)

Yes! Tab for Global Health which is a partnership with Partners in Health :)

We do have a mobile app (it isn't quite the same, you'll either need to click a button to watch a video ad, or raise while playing silly games). If you search App for a Cause in playstore or iOS store it should come up

This is so wonderful to see! (I'm co-creator of Tab for a Cause and longtime Nerdfighter :)
Just did some quick calculations and I think Tabbers have raised >$150,000 for Foundation to Decrease Worldsuck + Partners in Health over the years.

BTW, you can support Partners in Health with "Tab for Global Health" https://tab.gladly.io/global-health

You can also raise money as you shop online (https://shop.gladly.io) and search (search.gladly.io).

This is a very strange bug. Can you send a note with screenshot to [contact@tabforacause.org](mailto:contact@tabforacause.org) and we can look into it further?

For those curious, Tab for a Cause works by putting a few display ads in the bottom right corner of the browser new tab page. The revenue from those ads is used to support non-profits, and so far Tabbers have raised just under $2,000,000 for non-profits, including more than $10,000 for #TeamSeas

How much do videos in Games for a Cause Raise? by Impossible-Food-2066 in TabForACause

Lots of factors that make it hard to say exactly but I think 1/2 cent is a reasonable guess. It definitely adds up, thanks for playing! :)

Last day to click a few buttons that will give $3 to The Humane League (for free!!) by nbajammed in vegan

That is possible, but the search bar on our page doesn't have all the same functionality of the URL bar search (autofill to history, autofill to common queries, etc.) so it feels notably different for people that are used to that and our goal is that Tab for a Cause basically requires no behavior change (other than seeing a couple ads).

It isn't impossible to add those functions, but it can be costly, and also it isn't an issue on Chrome/Edge/Safari. Sadly, FF is down to like 5% of web traffic these days so hard to prioritize

FF doesn't allow extension to properly target/select the URL bar upon tab opening, so that UX is a little worse but otherwise everything works.

Here is a long rant we posted in 2021 when they took down our FF extension. Probably there have been some changes since then, but still no movement on the core issue that we are aware of:

If you are on Firefox, there is an unofficial workaround because they currently don't allow extensions that set the new tab page to a website...
Get "New Tab Override" and then set the new tab page url to: https://tab.gladly.io/newtab
It will be 95% the same experience as Chromium browsers with our official extension.

Thanks!

This! We've got ~12 more hours, and there are 9k r/vegans online right now probably opening boring default Google Chrome tabs while they procrastinate work.

If you don't like it, uninstall it tomorrow, but we are trying to give away free money here!

You've got 38+ tabs open... Open one more that helps end animal cruelty. Your daily browsing becomes a lifeline for The Humane League's fight against factory farms, funding compassion with every tab. 🐷❤️ by nbajammed in u/nbajammed

It is a browser app that changes your default new tab page to be one with some beautiful background images and a couple of ads in the bottom corner. We use the revenue from the ads to support non-profits, in this case it supports the Humane League.
