Banano Donate is a Chrome Browser Extension (also works on all Chromium-based browsers, e.g. Brave browser) which allows you to easily make Banano currency donations to participating websites. The website owner specifies the Banano donation address beforehand so you can just concentrate on making the donation.
It is will be available for download in all regions, and in 18 different languages covering 20 locales (locale identifiers in brackets):

Go to chrome extensions or for Brave Browser. Turn on the Developer Mode in the top left corner of the Extensions page in Chrome.
Unzip to a folder on your HDD. This folder will be the main folder you select in step 4.
You can now select the extension. That's pretty easy, you go to load unpackaged, select the /dist/ folder from your unzipped release and that´s it!
You will now see the BananoDonate icon in the upper right corner of Chrome, next to the address bar. If the site you are visiting is already enabled to receive donations through BananoDonate, the icon will be colored. Click on it and you will see the extension window pop up, asking you to enter the amount of BAN you´d like to donate.
Once you have entered the desired donation amount, click the "Create QR-Code" button. You will see a QR-code which you can scan using Kalium to send your donation.
