I’m surprised at how many otherwise intelligent people I know have installed the Honey plugin.
I mean, it was pretty obvious from the start who the product was.
It’s easy to say in hindsight. Plenty of products initially are great, then some with inevitably sell out to a data farming company or whatever. Now, if you’re still using Honey after having heard of this, I don’t know what to say.
Because nobody has the mental bandwidth to think in depth about every decision they make
This.
The smartest person earth (if there is such a thing) will do dumb stuff, because they cannot know everything.
I installed it and tried it on occasion, but it never worked for finding any coupons. It was the only extension I had that I kept disabled because I always thought it’s interaction with the browser and web pages was sus as fuck.
TBH, it was more of a curiosity I kept around to explore one day. I also dissect and detonate malware a few times a week, so I just treated Honey as such.
(That folder named “malware” on my computer is actually real. I pitty the poor soul who steals it thinking its just a joke to store my private data.)
Unrelated: I finally got my first .SVG downloader today, actually. Whoever the fuck thought it would be a good idea to add a script tag to SVG needs to be put down.

SVG was in part intended as a replacement for Flash, which had animations and interactive graphic elements. The script tag has been there since 2001’s SVG 1.0 🤷

Did you think this sounded…clever?
Because it doesn’t even make any sense
I think I’ve missed your point?
