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

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

hell no

Fraudulent spyware. Fully profiles your computer's activity and is programmed to dodge detection when you investigate. DO NOT INSTALL. If you are a user, UNINSTALL NOW. Document your use and prepare for a juicy class action. Harms the user, harms the store front, harms their competitors. Harms EVERYONE in the name of making a pretty penny. Every one and thing about this is a verifiable liar. DO. NOT. USE.

Never worked when I tried it on top of being essentially spyware. Avoid.

This is spyware, you should remove it if you have it installed.
