Honey web browser extension is suspicious and fraudulent that many people have been aware of its unethical purpose such as exploitation of trust, false promises of best coupons and stealing revenue from influencers by hijacking and swapping affiliate links with the ones from the extension creators. Like other fraudulent products that have their shills, the Honey extension has its own defenders, making baseless and cult-ish claims that:
- They don't find any problem
- People have no idea how to use it
- People and content creators are whining about it
The people who are vocal about the extension realized how fraudulent and unethical it is and it's the same for other extensions from its same creators like Pie Shopping & Pie Adblock. MegaLag made a content exposing the unethical business practice from those behind the extension and the amount of red flags. The worse thing coming out of a disowned bastard behavior I saw on Twitter was a miserable interpretation of what MegaLag said. That person misinterpreting in a terminally ill online way must be a professional Twitter attention seeker in my opinion as proven by the account with the blue check. That's not passionate nor creative at all. It's not just influencers whose revenue was stolen by those behind the Honey extension. Even the consumers with that extension installed were cheated with false promises.
About Pie Adblock, it claims that you will get rewarded from the ads you want while it blocks other ads and that is way too good to be true. As suspicious and fraudulent as this extension is from the same creators of Honey extension, the companies behind their respective web browsers should take action to get the Honey and its similar extensions taken down.
