OpenTabs: Save trees by surfing the web
Description from store

🌳 How it works
OpenTabs uses a search bar on the new-tab page to enable users to save trees simply by searching the web.

🎯 Our mission
With OpenTabs, we made an active decision to save existing trees rather than planting new ones. You might be wondering why this matters or why we made this decision when other well-known companies have chosen to plant new ones. To put it simply, compelling studies show that planting trees won’t be enough to tackle climate change and that efforts on rainforest conservation lead to a more sustainable and lasting change.

🌎 How it helps
Using the OpenTabs new tab homepage search bar for your internet searches, enables you to automatically support a global community of people working hard to conserve and restore the Earth's forests.

⚙️Settings and Features
• Fast search results
• Beautiful backgrounds
• Trees saved counter
• List of your favorite websites
• Interesting search suggestions
• Affiliate disclosure popup on website bookmarks

Hi! I've newly added the chrome extension and I'm currently having some trouble using the search bar. Tt keeps routing me to the OpenTabs website instead of searching for my inquiry. I can only use the search function at the top of the browser to be able to actually search. Additionally, the settings I've put the page in (like turning it to a clock and adding my name) disappears when I open a new tab/window. Unsure if this is a bug, hoping to get feedback on this from the devs. Thanks!

Whenever I open a new tab, I want my cursor to appear in the URL box at the top of the browser. Instead, the cursor ALWAYS appears in the OpenTabs search box, and it was driving me up the wall!! I switched to Tero (the new re-branded version of OpenTabs), and thankfully, my cursor goes where I want it to. So I'm keeping the Tero extension now, and have uninstalled OpenTabs.

Ya no funciona, o al menos eso parece, al menos desde marzo de 2023 It no longer works, or at least it seems that way, at least since March 2023

Sounds like a great idea but it doesn't work on Opera. I can't use New Tab Start Page to make it work because I can't find the URL, and I can't use keyboard shortcuts either because that just doesn't work, period.

This extension offers a seamless experience and doesn't slow down the search process. I've been using it for more than 180 days and I've planted more than 400 trees just by simply doing what I would be doing without this extension. The team behind this extension is working hard to constantly add new features/widgets to add value to the experience. I've recommended this extends to all my friends and I definitely recommend it to you.

Very limited and changes your settings to default like home shortcuts and wallpaper that you added through link (just reverted back to default) and now I cant change my search engine this addon settings. I installed this to support your cause (despite not seeing any openness of the cause) but you decided to revert back to what you like. Plus the ads in this addon isn't up to the mark. Anyways, you reverted back as you please and I will revert back to my previous new tab addon I was using. Thanks.

Simple way to make an impact on a daily basis! I work a lot on my computer for school/research and double this extension with Ecosia. I also try to tell all my friends about it and promote around my school whenever I can so you should download too :)

Great extension, i use it with Ecosia so i feel good about browsing the internet. Make sure to use adblocker that doesn't impede it (uBlock origin is good)

Such a simple thing to make a huge impact. Acts exactly like normal google, if not better because you can play games on it. Doesn't effect my searching, its like its not even there. Great extension, we need more things like this in the world.

A great and easy way to make change! Even with the Forest Tabber option, the ads aren't extremely intrusive. The most frequent sites and daily backgrounds are great features. One request: please put the app drawer back on the left side, or give the user the option to move it. It was a very convenient way to open Gmail or Calendar because the app drawer was right under the new tab button.
