SmileAlways makes giving to charity easy by automatically redirecting all Amazon.com pages to smile.amazon.com.
***Now also includes international support for Amazon.de and Amazon.co.uk.***
==============================
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.

The response time is instant whereas some other chrome extensions that does the same thing takes a bit more time to redirect. I love this extension and it works with Amazon Assistant as well!! Great!
Works perfectly every time! No complaints here.
Works as advertised – thanks! 🙂
Tut was es soll.
So kann ich helfen und es kostet nix perfekt 😀
Great idea but unfortunately it doesn’t work all the time. Some of the links within Amazon take you to http://www.amazon even if you were at smile.amazon which has caught me out a number of times. Wanted a way to redirect these sneaky links but this doesn’t do the job. Works when linked from outside of the Amazon domain though.
I’ve been using it for a few months, and haven’t had to think about it. It just works
simple and easy, great for someone who always forgets to go on the url!
I am very glad to have found this. I see there are 2 others, and because of one bug in this one (sent to the developer – clickable links from others not changing) I might consider trying the others. When I go to amazon.com from any link that doesn’t already point to a product, it works flawlessly.
For anyone shopping on Amazon, they should always be using Smile, and this extension makes it so I do not have to remember to explicitly go to Smile. I use this in Brave browser, not Google Chrome, and it works great!
Es macht was es soll, und viele menschen wird es helfen… :D. Danke für diese kleine extansion!
Works exactly as expected. Thanks for the great extension!
Does exactly what i need it to do!
It’s very common for me to just browse around on Amazon checking prices and reviews. When I actually go to buy an item, I often forget to switch over to Amazon Smile and don’t realize it until after I’ve placed the order. This extension has saved me numerous times. Solid 5/5.
Amazing extension – I always forget to use smile but this works perfectly and redirects me there without me having to think about it 👍
Very fast
Works exactly how it is suppose too.
Works perfectly for amazon UK. makes making amazon do their bit just a little easier.

It doesn’t work, just sends you to the normal Amazon site.
I love this extension and have been using it for a while. I got a chrome update recently that I think broke it though. From skimming other reviews seems they are having the same issue. I hate to rate it one star but if somebody is coming to see this now they need to know… as soon as this gets fixed I’ll be sure to update my review.
To those having issues with the extension recently-
Give this a try:
1. Turn off Smile Always
2. Log out of Amazon Account
3. Turn on Smile Always
4. Log into Amazon
If that doesn’t work try:
1. Turn off Smile Always
2. Log out of Amazon Account
3. Log into Amazon
4. Turn on Smile Always
This got it working for me. Wonderful extension!
No longer works. Links to Amazon are not redirected to AmazonSmile. Typing in Amazon.com in the address bar is also not redirected to AmazonSmile. Stopped working about a week ago.
Having issues these days. It doesn’t do anything. My current setup Chrome Browser Version 72.0.3626.81 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Linux Ubuntu Box 16.04.
This app has malware in it. When you search for something on google it will hijack when you click on a link and launch a different link, links that are probably monetized. Disabling the app this behavior no longer happens.
