    You mean a free extension that claims to give me discounts seemingly out of the goodness of their hearts that also has access to every website I go to in the browser where it is installed is not exactly on the level? I’m shocked…well…not that shocked.

      I can’t believe that something too good to be true was too good to be true!

      I tried it in a Firefox container once, while shopping for Xmas gifts. Not only did it want access to absolutely everything, none of the things I was looking to buy got any meaningful discount from it. Surely that would make one question how and why this thing is even still running, unless you don’t ask many questions.

        People add extensions and then forget about them immediately, those are the true whales for these companies

      Yeah the one that somehow has the money to get the biggest influencers to advertise them.
