Scams you, the store, and the affiliates at the same time

Borderline malware. Replaces referral links with their own at the last moment on checkout, even if you're purchasing through someone else's referral link.

Never install this extension.

Honey only shows store approved coupons (usually 5-10%) which are rarely the best deals.

You're better off hunting for coupon codes the old fashioned way to get the best deals, even if it takes longer.

Absolute scam, documented to steal from consumers and creators.

It's a scam, they are ripping off your favorite creators that you are trying to support by clicking a link that will earn them a commission.

And you probably don't even get a coupon code.
