Vincent Tobiaz (ID: 000000d462cc7013) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/03/2023 RIP I donated to abused and trafficked women to help start a new life. It is a cause that meant something to me, and it was mere quarters and pennies vs thousands of dollars spent on Amazon.

Jordan Smellie (ID: 000000a66e336c11) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/23/2023 This was an excellent extension for many years. Worked as promised, no bugs, no weird permissions. Perfect right up until the day Amazon killed off the Smile program. Thanks for your help and your extension, dev. Much appreciated. I'll keep the extension installed, just turned off -- just in case something changes.

Make Name Acceptable Go (ID: 00000067bb50e922) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/22/2023 Always worked without a flaw. An excellent extension. (I'll leave it on my system, just turned off in case the below gets changed.) But Amazon says: "Amazon closing AmazonSmile to focus its philanthropic giving". So basically: "WE want to give what you spend on what WE want to give to. You're not important." Which, if they didn't have Smile already set up, seems reasonable (because we are an income source, not dear friends). But to take all the good will and "I'll spend a little more since it benefits something I like" and just flush it... Poor PR, poor business sense. Especially since the % given was so tiny. Just another example of "Has Amazon been infiltrated by corporate saboteurs?" level of poor corporate choices.

Dale B (ID: 00000001f5653b6b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/21/2023 This was great till Amazon removed smile. Oh well, was nice while it lasted and felt good to know my purchases helped out my charity of choice. Hopefully Amazon brings it back. Still doesn't make sense to get rid of it.
