Basically, if you install this extension on your Chrome browser, for every tab you open, Google donates to a 3rd world country cause. At the end of a day, you get to choose what cause to donate for. Choices are trees, books, water, vaccinations and shelter.

Here's a moral dilemma for you:
Is it unethical to hack the extension to send false, exaggerated information to their servers about how many tabs you have open?

Yes.
Aside from the fact that the terms limit you to 250 tabs per day and one per second, anyway.

Strange Google wouldn't donate a hefty amount of money in the first place, though.

Wow. Totally did not know that, but now that I do, I'm hitting 250 tabs every day. If they only count a tab per second that's, what, less than 5 minutes of nonstop clicking? EZ.

This makes people feel like they are helping and makes the public aware of it without having to "announce" it to the world like an attention whore.
Million dollar limit is sad, though. That is a lot of money for one person, but it's chump change for Google.

Don't forget clicking a link with the scroll wheel opens one as well!
