It seems the Honey Coupon extension wasn’t just making money by tracking purchases from users, but also by taking credit for the sales for PayPal (since they are owned by it) by changing your local cookies. Pretty shady if you ask me.

    Nah, even without affiliate code shenanigans, there have been coupon sites for like forever. People REALLY want to find codes, it’s the best bait to fill their screen with ads, popups, malware, and whatever.
