Searches their database for a coupon code whenever it detects you’re on a store checkout page, then blasts all the coupon codes into the little box rapid fire. Sometimes it works, usually it doesn’t. PayPal then collects your browsing data through the plugin and sells it off.
It should tell us something that corporations will gleefully scrape up as much of our data as possible (even if we don’t use their services) but trying to get info out of a corporation (even stuff you have a direct legal entitlement too) is like getting blood from a stone.
Isn’t privacy badger kind of redundant with ublock origin? Chameleon might be a good alternative as I’m always worried my extensions will give me a unique fingerprint.
Yeah Privacy Badger is redundant, Privacy Guides only recommends installing uBlock Origin and changing some settings in Firefox to decrease the uniqueness in your browser fingerprint.
Honey hasnt found me a coupon in probably over a year. Idk how it didn’t click to me until now that its just more spyware. Theres no way the big corps are just okay with people paying less for evwrything unless they get something else out of it
I feel like I had badger for a while but it seemed to break so many things I was trying to access… Sites seem to really not like you having it installed. Was I just not using it right, or has it gotten better?
If you add the url shortener lists and set firefox Enhanced Teacking Protection to strict (enforces first party isolation), you only need Canvas Blocker.

That would be cool if there was an open source federated alternative to Honey for coupon codes
what would federation add here
Buzzword…
Everything must be in the cloud, federated, and AI
Don’t forget blockchain
our visionary, disruptive new start-up…
It would allow anyone to spin up their own self hosted instance that shares collected coupon codes with other instances
how does honey work

how does honey work
I’m not familiar with all the logos, mind filling me in?
That’s
librewolf, Privacy Badger, UBlock Origin and Decentraleyes if I’m not wrong.Edit : Fennec, not Librewolf
You got all but one right. The logo is a little bit hard to find by searching, but the icon on the left is Fennec, a version of Firefox for Android.
Thanks for the correction.
Why should someone use fennec over regular firefox
It removes proprietary chunks and lessens telemetry.
Use Mull over Fennec though, hardens security with settings taken from arkenfox user.js.

i still have privacy badger just incase
Anyone else think the logo for Fennec is better than Firefox
Thanks for reminding me to remove Honey. I’ve had it for a while and never used it. Went to use it a bit ago and it made my cart more expensive lmao

is it ok to have ublock origin and badger at the same time?
I feel like I had badger for a while but it seemed to break so many things I was trying to access… Sites seem to really not like you having it installed. Was I just not using it right, or has it gotten better?
I run this duo on every browser I open
Wait… UblockOrigin alone isn’t enough?

Sure, i have his. If anyone knows more/better, please post.
i didn’t know that.Thanks.
dont use firefox use librewolf (a fork of firefox)
Claims like this need a reason 🤦♂️
Not OP, but it has better default settings for privacy IIRC. Nothing you can’t do in default FF mind you
Thank you!

Decentraleyes is a bit outdated. LocalCDN does the same thing and is more up-to-date.
Thanks, I didn’t know that. I’m learning now things on Lemmy!
