- Rated 1 out of 5by Broffrey, 4 years agoAvoid this kind of useless shop-savings extensions that in facts can spy what you are looking on the internet, it's just collecting informations on you to profile you and similar customers to finally target ads/products/services. That's desguished spyware in counterpart to provide you a pretended nice service for free.
And just about the service provided: this kind of extensions (lots of similar exist like this one) can modify the webpages on-the-fly and also can censure some parts or search results to guide you to buy to a specific shop... instead of a concurrent. And guess who is paying the extension editor to do that? Sellers?
Just look at what this extension is requiring at the Permissions part...
Mind again before adding browser extensions! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16871803, 4 years agoactually made it more expensive by removing existing deals.
then started glitching - Rated 1 out of 5by AxDeath, 4 years agoNo dice. It didnt do anything. It would say it found supposed codes, say it was testing them, and then never accomplish anything. Total waste of time. Just another way to datamine you.
- Rated 1 out of 5by 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 Firefox user 15414620, 4 years agoScam. Never finds any valid codes, always wants to to log in, and doesn't describe what the benefits are until you do so.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16908156, 4 years agoUseless, unhelpful, and a waste of an install. Every code it claims to have for you isn't valid. Doesn't update coupon pool when its codes fail to work. Hate it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Savanna, 4 years agoHas never saved me anything. "We have 5 discount coupons we can apply. oh, sorry, none seem to work, better luck next time!" All bogus. All they do is collect my browsing data and then probably sell it. Not recommended.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Masked Salesman, 4 years agoSo far, this hasn't really helped one bit...i have yet to find a single time where this has actually saved me money on a purchase I wanted to make and since this is supposed to be an app that does that and it hasn't even been able to do so once, I'd say that would make this a complete and total failure.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13588094, 4 years agoFirefox had been running slow for a while now, and I figured it was just because I have many tabs open (even though they were dormant). It wasn't until I got the message "Honey may be slowing Firefox" briefly before it disappeared that I decided to start disabling some addons. Honey was the first one I disabled, and instantly Firefox was a million times more responsive. I no longer had text input with random delays, and scrolling through sites hanging. Much better now. Most the coupons I got were not that good anyway, I won't miss it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by KitnCaboo, 4 years agoSuddenly greyed out, not working at all. Website doesn't load...is Honey gone? Deleting.

- Rated 1 out of 5by AbandonedGaming, 4 years agoI have found that there are some things that Honey does behind the scenes that aren't so good, uninstalling and wanting others to do the same.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17010062, 4 years agoForced sign-up, and trying very hard to appear as 'community' driven, and therefor trustworthy.
Forced sign-up are completely unnecessary for what it does, and i highly doubt their ethics.
imho a yucky company, not for me. - Rated 1 out of 5by AndyL964, 4 years agoGood luck earning anything from them. Coupons rarely work and the minimum withdraw requirement is quite high. Use Rakuten instead.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Lab, 4 years agoSadly Honey stopped working months ago. It no longer works on any website including big stores like Amazon. The honey addon icon simply remains grey and clicking on it opens an empty window that doesn't load anything (it's just blank white).
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14110864, 4 years agoAll but one of my Droplist items just disappeared...why??? For over a year, I still cannot add items to my Droplist (using latest Firefox version)!!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15533552, 4 years agoHoney will not allow me to enter required, (size color, etc.), on Firefox, therefore, it is simply useless..... FIX THIS!!!
- Rated 1 out of 5by Kyllingene, 4 years agoI really want to like Honey, but within 2 minutes of installation there was an aggravating popup that wouldn't go away (it expanded really large whenever my mouse went remotely near it, then required me to click a small X to close it); since then, I have received over 2 emails a day from Honey, pleading me to come back. If you value your sanity over a few cents, do not install; if you value a few cents over your sanity, install away.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13924487, 4 years agoWould not scan for codes on several sites but would allow me to used saved "Honey Gold". Tried to talk to their support but was told "those stores must not have active codes right now" one of the stores I told them about was HelloFresh who ALWAYS has active codes. I also let them know I had looked up codes on RetailMeNot and they worked but the extension will not even attempt to scan. So much for their tag line of "Stop searching for coupon codes".
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15278219, 4 years agoHave only ever gotten anything out of Honey maybe once or twice. Otherwise it just slows down my browser performance significantly.
