As numerous people before wrote, honey steals money from affiliate links! Even if they dont find a deal they overwrite your cookie to claim the money!

Kindly do not use this extension. There is too many dark patterns and data stealing.

Whenever Honey had first entered the zeitgeist I gave them a chance hoping for a decent coupon finder. Every time I attempted to find coupons with the extension it would scan, then tell me it found nothing, after it had promised there were infact coupons available. Thanks to the investigative journalism by MegaLag, we now know that was almost certainly a complete scam, telling you there were coupons when there were not Active coupons, but at the time I thought it was simply a useless extension and a waste. I uninstalled it and never looked back.

Well, dodged a bullet there, ay! What a sleazy piece of code.

Massive scam and fraudulent practices

P.P.S.D.

Watch "Megalag's" youtube video on Honey.

Some of his allegations:

1) Not only does it steal cookies (under last attribution)
2) It ignores the "stand done" requirements
3) It has code to detect whether someone is coming from a test account, affiliate user, or whether someone is a new honey account (Think VW Dieselgate).
4) Honey claims that millions of codes are scanned, but this is not the case
5) It takes coupons down

Watch his video.
