Honey is an browser extention that got promoted by tons of influencers/youtubers. It supposed to look up for discount codes, coupons and etc. that it can use on popular online shopping platforms.
The situation was that in reality Honey was intentionally picky on what code to apply, and it would claim that it gave you a discount when in reality there was none.
The actual issue was that it was injecting it’s own affiliate codes in, including overwriting existing ones in order to get a cut of all purchases you made.
The f?? The same Motorola that will ship phones with GrapheneOS? Didn’t they learn from the Honey situation?
What’s the Honey situation?

Ah thank you for explaining.

That is underhanded.
