Honey has now lost 4M Chrome users after shady tactics were revealed

After being exposed for shady tactics in late 2024, Honey has now lost over 4 million users from its peak numbers.

To recap the situation thus far, Honey has amassed millions of users over the past several years on the promise of finding coupon codes for various online stores. In December 2024, a video on YouTube by the channel MegaLag exposed Honey for two shady practices. Honey has always used affiliate programs to subsidize its service, but the video revealed that the extension would hijack these programs – removing affiliate codes from other refferers such as online creators and website – even if it didn’t have coupon codes or cash back to offer in return.
