You probably only donate to charity a few times a year, at most -- around holidays, in response to tragedies or maybe just when you finally think of it.

Doing your part is both impactful and rewarding, but sometimes it can be discouraging to try to find the right cause, then fill out a lengthy form with your personal and financial information. What if, in addition to your regular donations, you could give a little bit every day without even needing to think about it?

Well, you can, armed with a few Google Chrome extensions designed to help the busy -- and maybe even lazy -- socially conscious Internet user automatically donate to charity.

App developers, nonprofits and companies alike have created various add-ons for the popular web browser to fit charity into your daily online routine. These Chrome extensions help you support good causes at no cost to you, and with little-to-no effort.
