12/24 UPDATE: I used Tab for a Cause for more than a year (2022-2023), but in the last year it stopped working after the new UI update (in between 2023-2024). The impact counter didn't count the tabs I open, and I use a lot of them. I've tried to reinstall it many times, both from Chrome and Edge store, but nothing have changed. I've also deactiveted my adblocker, even if it wasn't blocking the app since the beginning, but no use. I asked the developers to check the extension in february 2024, but no one answered to my comment, and two of my email inquieries remained unanswered. I FIXED IT in the end, but not thanks to the developers of the app. I just reverted to the old UI and the counter started working again. This means the problem resides in the new UI. I ask the developers again to check this bug and to fix it. 0 stars for the poor support, but 4 star for the classic Tab For a Cause UI. For the newbies, this is my invite link: https://tab.gladly.io/?u=ReDantes

really good except for the fact that I got two people using this with my link but I didnt get any hearts for it meaning I will not recruit more people if you dont get hearts even though you say you are going to. Please can you change this and maybe find a way to donate more to charity.
