I'm ashamed that I used this horrible extension for so long

Badly designed extension as it for the requirements it needs "All" permissions for domains. Which means they are able to read the inputs of the users in any website. Seems a bit nefarious

It will do anything to take a commision on a sale even overwriting others affiliate codes who actually got you to buy the item. Even if it does absolutely nothing (no codes or no gold) it will still try take a commission.

Scamming both the customer and the affiliates that bring you to the products you're looking to buy

I always found better coupons by searching and now we found out that they were in fact filtering which coupons would be shown. False advertisement, if not a complete scam!

This app is a scam for consumers and affiliates. Beware.

This is a scam. They steal money from affiliate links

Scammy practices which steals money from affiliate links, and tampers with actual 'coupons'.

Does not actually search for the best coupons, but pretends to, or gives you coupons with lower discounts than others.

scam

scammy business pratice, steals affiliate links and hide better coupons for own corporation benefit

Honey doesn't actually do what it says it does in finding the best coupon codes available. Instead, it gives codes that are most beneficial to PayPal itself, all while hijacking commissions for their own gain.

IT IS A SCAM.NOT ONLY DOES IT OVERWRITE REFERRAL LINKS TO TAKE SPONSOR COMMISSIONS, THE COMPANIES TELL IT TO LIE ABOUT THE COUPONS IT GIVES YOU. LOOK IT UP.

Scam, please watch MegaLag's video on youtube.

If you have it installed, any affiliate link you click on, be it from your favorite blog, content creator, influencer etc. to buy a product you like, the commission that would otherwise go to that content creator, will be hijacked by Honey and it will go into the pocket of PayPal (the owners of this extension), instead of the creator who recommended you the product. This is done at the checkout when Honey scans for coupons, and regardless if it finds one for you or not, the hijacking still happens.

Honey also works with online stores to give you a lower value discounts than you would find for yourself after a brief search online. The store saves money because Honey provides people with low discount coupon codes, and not the higher discount ones they may easily find online, and Honey gets a cut.

Honey doesnt give you the best discount code available, in fact its part of their business model not to give you the best deal.

If you ever hear of an extension called "Pie" - its made by the same people as Honey, its just an adblocker + Honey combined - basically a middle man that takes a cut from both both parties while providing nothing of value (you can get an adblocker for free elsewhere).

In short, avoid this scam as it damages both content creators and you as a consumer. Better value coupon codes can be found manually with little effort.

Fraudsters. Shamefully greedy. Disgusting.

Scam!!!!
