“The reason I love opening up a new tab. As an ornithologist and birder, this is my favorite extension. ”
“Happy to see nice birds from my region whenever I surf the web, will definitely show my ornithologist colleagues! ”
“I am obsessed with birds, and I love this extension so much that it's hard to put into words. I love discovering a new bird species with every tab I open. Thank you for making this extension for bird lovers like myself. ”
“I was looking for a high-contrast theme for Brave because it's annoyingly difficult to see your active tab among all the rest in that browser, but then I found this and obviously had to have it. I still can't find what tab I'm in, but every time I see a wonderful new bird, it's worth it. ”
“Amazing extension! Opening a new tab feels like a breath of fresh air :) I'm learning about new birds, appreciating the birds around me more, and taking much-needed tiny pauses in the day. Thank you, birdtab! ”
