I would have thought Honey would be blacklisted by now. Especially as they are facing multiple lawsuits for shady and malicious practices, perhaps even outright theft.


Honey is malicious. If their behaviour and lack of transparency do not rise to the standard of Malicious, I don't know what does. There is a mountain of evidence online and an ongoing, class-action lawsuit against them. The TL;DR version is on Legal Eagle YouTube. Honey injects script and redirects the "Sponsor/Partner" to their own site, stealing whatever commission was rightfully owed to the original affiliate. While you may not notice a difference, they are intentionally misleading everyone with these shady practices. They have arrangements with specific sites and will redirect only to those sites, not to the cheapest deal but to their business partners. Most of the time Honey is not giving you the best price, rather just sending you to a seller they are partnered with.

The fact they inject script into your browser and redirect affiliate links behind the scenes without a transparent disclaimer or Opt-In feature is malicious business practice
