Tabseed is a browser extension that helps you support climate change initiatives while browsing the web. It overrides the browser's new tab page with a hub for environmental action. It provides an easy way to make a difference every time you open a new tab - through non-intrusive ads and support, we fundraise for climate change initiatives.
No, Tabseed is 100% forever.
30% of all funds raised go directly to environmental charities. The rest covers infrastructure costs and ongoing maintenance. We will increase this number in the future once we gain a stronger community of users and open-source contributors. Essentially, we plan to increase this as much as possible once we have enough users to comfortable cover our maintenance costs.
No, we don't store ANY data in permanent storage. All Tabseed settings, configuration, etc. is stored in your browser's local storage, not on any remote database. We do not have access to any of your data, and by our own design, we can easily operate without asking you to store sensitive data.
No, we don't store or collect any tracking data. We improve our services based on community feedback, not by collecting any personally identifiable information. That being said, any third party advertising services we use may collect data. As our user base grows, we are committed to partnering with reputable ad networks that don't track or collect user information, and we aim to one day remove all third-party tracking from our services.
Getting started is easy! Simply install the Tabseed browser extension, and you'll be able to begin supporting climate change initiatives while browsing the web in no time.
Yes! The Tabseed browser extension is fully open-source, meaning anyone can view, modify, and contribute to the code. We believe in full transparency and want to ensure that everyone can see what's behind Tabseed. We believe in the power of community-driven development and encourage developers to contribute.
We keep the API closed-source for security and business reasons. Our main motivation for keeping it closed source is to prevent duplicate browser extensions being spammed (something similar happened to the development team once before!). But, our front-end is open-source.
