Opening 60,599,541 Chrome Tabs for $1,000,000 Chrome-donation,O-6-274326-13

Earlier this month, Google pledged that it would donate money for every Chrome tab opened. The program ran from December 15 through to December 19 and it was capped at $1 million. Thanks to everyone's tabulous efforts, the cap was hit.

The program pledged to donate money to charity based on how many tabs opened during the day.

10 tabs = 1 tree planted
10 tabs = 1 book published and donated
25 tabs = 1 vaccination treatment provided
100 tabs = 1 square foot of shelter built
200 tabs = 1 person's clean water for a year
Each Chrome user chose the causes their tabs would support, and this is where the money is going:

$245,278 toward planting trees in the Atlantic Forest, one of the world’s endangered tropical forests.
$232,791 toward providing clean water, by building freshwater wells for communities in developing nations.
$112,078 toward building shelter, to be constructed by volunteers for impoverished families in Latin America.
$267,336 toward administering vaccinations against meningitis to combat outbreaks in Africa.
$142,518 toward publishing books by local writers and illustrators, which will be created and donated to schools and libraries across Asia and Africa.

Not a lot of money on those donations, though, for what they could have donated. But hey, I'm not going to complain. :3
