by Firefox user 12344652, 4 years agoDO NOT ADD THIS EXTENSION! They are ILLEGALLY stealing affiliate referral revenue from websites and content creators! Honey runs a tab in the background that swaps the affiliate cookie to its own despite not finding any deals or offering any actual value to you, the shopper.
Megalag tested this (the video is on YouTube) and found instances where better codes were readily available online, but Honey CHOSE to use a code with a lower discount, while telling the consumer that it was the best deal.
Honey is not doing what it claims. It's doing the exact opposite. It's not finding the best deal for you; it's finding the deal that works best for the retailer.
Megalag even found a podcast where a Honey representative talked about Honey helping retailers by giving them control over how much discount the consumer received.
AVOID!!!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Bee, 2 months agoIntentionally gives worse codes for their own profit. Open source alternatives like Syrup are better for finding the best codes.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Quinn, 2 months agoowned by paypal and legit is a scam
just steals the money from other business's when they recommend a product to you
and the way the LTT(linus tech tips) company didnt warn others about this even though they knew about it way before everyone else AND didnt even release an apology about working with them made me strongly dislike LTT now
