OpenTabs Edge Add-on: Save Trees by Browsing

OpenTabs: Save trees by opening new tabs is an Edge add-on by a non-profit organisation on an environmental mission. This tool substitutes your new tab experience with a personalised dashboard that helps save a tree for every 5 tabs you open. The service is free and uses unobtrusive ads to generate revenues for saving trees. OpenTabs ensures user privacy, is commendably transparent, and partners with other eco-conscious search engines. It also emphasises on saving existing forests over planting new ones, and offers additional features such as games, shortcuts, and impact badges.
