really good except for the fact that I got two people using this with my link but I didnt get any hearts for it meaning I will not recruit more people if you dont get hearts even though you say you are going to. Please can you change this and maybe find a way to donate more to charity.

Has been absolutely wonderful until the most recent update where it no longer counts as a new tab for the purposes of displaying the favourites bar "only on new tabs". Will change my review to 5 stars once this issue is fixed.
