Rated 2 out of 5
by Firefox user 12340177, 7 years agoIt has saved me around $5 in the last year or so which is pretty great! Unfortunately, I have found that when this add on is enabled there are performance issues on the browser. It causes a delay between my typing in the browser and the characters I have typed appearing on screen. It also causes a delay between my cursor becoming "clickable" when I hover it over a link. This problem only appears when Honey is enabled and it immediately ceases when I disable Honey. When this is fixed, I will change my rating to 5 stars.

- Rated 1 out of 5by rocket, 15 days agoNothing but a data farmer. Been using this extension for about three or four years, basically as soon as the online sponsorship ads started showing up everywhere. In that time I've only ever gotten two usable coupons from Honey, and saved my self less than 20 dollars. Don't be fooled, these guys make their money by selling your data.
- Rated 1 out of 5by NicolasGE, 16 days agowas using a high amount of ram and rarely if ever got me any coupon codes... worthless
- Rated 1 out of 5by Raven, a month agoIt hasn't worked with Amazon in forever, which is the entire point most of us added it. NOW, it wants us to login with PayPal AFTER logging in. I don't care if PayPal owns Honey, they should already have all the info they need, asking for my PayPal password just seems shady AF.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Alkaris, 2 months agoHONEY IS JUST A COMMON EVERYDAY SCAM THAT DOESN'T PAYOUT REWARDS ANYMORE.
While you might be saving on purchases, the rewards system no longer gives out rewards. Honey makes $0 when you save money with coupon codes, because they blew all their funding on Sponsored Ad blocks.
The last time this extension was updated was 4 years ago. so I'd say the team at Honey don't care about it anymore. Don't waste your time with Honey, whatever points you've accumulated over the years, throw your entire account to the trash, as it can't be redeemed on anything. If you try to redeem something it'll say you redeemed your points for it, but doesn't deduct points, or give you the reward you redeemed for.
SUPPORT NO LONGER ANSWERS SUPPORT TICKETS OR EMAILS. - Rated 5 out of 5by benmerry, 2 months ago

- Rated 2 out of 5by Rhytz, 2 months agoRarely -if ever- provided a working coupon code, so the popup that claimed otherwise became an annoyance. I deleted it again
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18553247, 3 months agoAutomatically linked my PayPal account to itself, without my permission. Then, it would not let me login without logging in to PayPal.
Deleted.
Worthless crap anyway...never works, I have used this app for well over 5 years and none of the points ever accumulate, it takes months upon months to get anything back, and when you do, it is a terrible point to purchase ratio and point magically disappear without warning and no way to get any live person on the phone to help with anything.
Save your time, privacy, and everything else and uninstall this bloatware. - Rated 4 out of 5by blxiii, 3 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by CheeseburgerWalrus, 3 months agoFor such a praised addon, I have to say this is the most annoying and useless addon I have ever had the displeasure of using. It rarely works on the sites I'd like it to work on, and even when it does it constantly pops up telling me it can save me money only for every single discount code to fail.
Probably just an addon used to track analytics of online shoppers. Nothing more. Might save you a couple bucks somewhere down the road, but not enough to be worth the headache. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18492113, 4 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Browncore, 4 months agoNot easy to use, not intuitive, barely works. Saved me maybe $15 in 3 years of use.
- Rated 1 out of 5by kftX, 4 months agoLike most people here, I've noticed the PayPal tomfoolery afoot. Now it even tries to force you to link or use a linked PayPal account to do something as basic as logging in. Stay away from this trash. Used to be amazing. Not so much now.
- Rated 1 out of 5by scarecrow, 4 months agoI was trying to uninstall the extension through my settings, due to privacy concerns, and it literally would not work and would re-enable itself somehow. I had to manually go into my Firefox profile files and delete the entire Honey extension folder to get it to finally uninstall from my browser. Highly recommend avoiding this mess!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18443524, 5 months agoI got this extension since people I trust recommended it. Without ever spending it, my gold balance vanished. And no matter how much I try the coupons never work - and the "earn gold for this purchase" never deposits a single piece of gold. I've been at 0/1000 for over a year now despite regularly shopping and being told I had a lot coming from my Christmas purchases in 2022 and 2023. Never seen a single gold.
- Rated 1 out of 5by AmUnRA, 5 months agoTLDR; Not interested in you getting good rebates but getting there highest share of provision and data on you since bought by PayPal.
Used to be good and helpful, now it is a data collector for PayPal. In recent months no code worked or it did replace better or equal codes with Ref-Codes from Honey where they make more money themself. Also blocks codes from competitors when theyself have none, screwing the customer in the process.
