by Firefox user 18752046, 19 hours agoWhen I briefly used this extension, I noticed it basically never worked in actually providing me codes (and I sometimes *could* do better just by Googling). It's now been exposed that this isn't just an ineffective piece of software, but a key part of their marketing strategy: suppressing codes which are known to work so as to benefit their corporate partners. This is contrary to the extension's description, enough so that it reasonably constitutes false advertising.
In addition, the extension has been shown to override affiliate cookies on sites which it works on. This acts to deceive customers, and to steal income from content creators you have made an active decision to support, redirecting it to one of the largest technology companies in the world.
Avoid Honey. It is ineffective, inconvenient, deceitful, and takes money out of both your own pocket and of any online creators who you are trying to support.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Herit Shah, 3 hours agoI’m beyond frustrated and heartbroken that Mozilla has still not removed the Honey extension. It’s clear this app violates basic terms and conditions by altering cookies without explicit user permission.
I trusted it to find the best deals, only to discover it’s been manipulating my purchases and stealing affiliate commissions. It’s a blatant abuse of user trust, and I’m shocked Mozilla has let this continue.
This kind of behavior should never be tolerated on any platform, and it’s deeply disappointing that Honey is still allowed to operate here. - Rated 1 out of 5by Wolfsbane, 3 hours agoJust search for coupons manually, don't use this add-on. Honey has been lying to users by not displaying the best coupons available, and at the same time has been over-riding and replacing affiliate links to steal commissions from affiliates across thousands of services globally. If there's a single online personality or small creator you want to support, don't use this add-on, just google the coupon you need - it'll probably be better than Honey's offerings anyway.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Ross, 4 hours agoOften fails to collect and apply coupon codes, but never fails to take credit for my purchase and earn itself a buck. Do not trust this app.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Devar, 6 hours agoI thought I was getting a good deal, but you were actually changing referrals so you could cash in on them. Clever scam!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Tony, 6 hours agoThis is basically a virus for your privacy and consumer rights, in addition to being a scam that it does not even stand for what it claims it offers. It is shocking that this add-on is allowed by Firefox in the extensions site...
