➤ We don’t plant trees

☆ "Planting trees is good. Saving existing forests is better." - Rainforest Trust ☆

We made an active decision to save existing trees rather than plant new ones because 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.

Here are three facts you might not know:

✓ Forest conservation needs 30x less land to have the same climate mitigation outcome as planting trees.
✓ Forest protection efforts help protect the natural habitat of thousands of species and local communities that depend on natural resources.
✓ Forest conservation typically costs half as much as forest restoration efforts.

➤ Tero vs. alternatives

☆ Ecosia ☆
We love Ecosia! Although many people think we are competitors, we are actually not. We recommend you use Ecosia’s search engine with the Tero extension to maximise your impact.

☆ OceanHero ☆
Like Ecosia, OceanHero is a search engine that can also be used in Tero. It's a great combo to save both rainforests and oceans!

☆ Tab for a Cause ☆
They are a great option if you want to support numerous charities, but they're only a new-tab page with limited functionalities.

Perfect. The ad override feature breaks some payment portals though.

I love this and OceanHero or Ecosia. It doesn't get in the way of anything. I liked that OpenTabs let us choose a selection of backgrounds from a gallery (especially the daily change up) Tero occasionally brings me back to that Introduction tutorial page where it just shows me around and resets the rate that you can plant trees, (10 tabs=1 tree) but it keeps my tree count! Definitely recommend, I'm sure the devs will patch the bugs.

Update 2: Decided to update my rating after reading the response from the developer. I don't like how I was forced to migrate to this extension from the old extension [Overlay on old extension saying that old extension will cease and stop working and to install this extension]. My understanding is previous one only used your tab. This new one collects data or alters things on all your webpages. I'm especially worried about it after I realized it broke the website for my bank website. I was so confused why my bank website wasn't working. At first I tried a different browser it worked. So I thought it was cookies. I deleted all that. Still didn't work. I manually switched off all my extensions until I narrowed it down to Tero. I never expected Tero to be the culprit. When I turn it on my bank website stops working and I'm getting errors, when I turn it off it the website works again. Due to this I have lost all faith in this extension, and it makes me worried about what it might be tracking. Update 1: Upon reflection, I decided to revise my rating from 1 star to 2 stars. While I believe that the creators of this extension likely have good intentions. I believe that it was unwise to force users to migrate to a new version that had fully been rewritten that still had unresolved bugs and, as other users have pointed out, lacked some of the features of the previous extension. Maybe a beta where users could opt in to try the new extension would've been better. [On the other hand, it's possible that the development team is small, and managing two extensions simultaneously may have been too much]
