==============================
Extension Summary:

This extension makes giving to charity easy by automatically redirecting all Amazon.com pages to smile.amazon.com.

Through Amazon's AmazonSmile initiative, 0.5% of your purchases on eligible items will automatically be donated to the charity of your choice.

SmileAlways does not collect any information about your identity or browsing or purchasing activity; we just want to help you give to charity every time you shop at Amazon, without having to remember to start at smile.amazon.com.

SmileAlways was developed by two MIT students, Josh Haimson and Dan Elitzer. Josh and Dan wrote and published the initial version of this extension on November 10th, 2013, dedicating it to the memory of Aaron Swartz. We hope in our lifetimes to contribute to the world a fraction of the impact Aaron achieved during the far too short time he was among us.

While we encourage everyone who shops at Amazon to use this extension, we hope you will also find other ways to contribute to charitable causes you care about by directly donating your dollars, skills, and time. If you are unsure which charity you want to give to, please check out the organizations recommended by GiveWell, a charity research and evaluation group with whom Aaron volunteered his time.

The extension was not created or endorsed by Amazon. Amazon and AmazonSmile are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc.

I'd give it a 5 ... if it worked! Installed in Opera and set up a while ago, but it does NOT redirect. I think it needs to be updated perhaps??

Easy extension to always do a little, nice thing.

Works fine in Edge Chromium.

Has worked well for me for months, but in the past few days has suddenly landed on a "sorry, something went wrong" page. If I then click on the Amazon logo in the corner, it redirects correctly, but not if I just type in "amazon.com" as the URL. Hoping this gets fixed soon, as it's been so great to not have to think about it myself! Thanks!

Works perfectly, feels invisible, as it should.

This extension is great, but I have to occasionally disable it because it breaks some pages (probably not this extension's fault - I'd bet it's Amazon's fault for not testing all functionality on the smile subdomain). For example, I cannot manage my Amazon "subscribe & save" subscriptions with this enabled.
