Megalag's Honey follow-ups (part 2 and after) keep digging into how ugly the affiliate / coupon-extension model looks under the hood. Worth a weekend watch if you still have shopping add-ons installed.
My take has not changed since I wrote I'm not a fan of browser extensions: most of them ask for more access than the feature needs, and "helpful" shopping tools sit in a trust class most people never audit.
- Do you really need that extension?
- Would you hand the same tabs to a random contractor?
If the answer is fuzzy, remove it. Separate browser profiles help when you must keep one - contain the blast radius instead of letting one add-on see everything.
What do you still trust enough to leave installed?
Find this on LinkedIn and give it a thumbs up: Honey extension follow-up: do you trust your browser add-ons?
