Google Chrome Is Fixing The Honey Affiliate Situation

HenryObi · Mar 19, 2025

I don't know if anyone saw this earlier. It appears, Google Chrome is changing it's policy to stop extensions from swapping affiliate links.

If this is truly implemented, I think it's a step in the right direction. I wonder if PayPal has made its $16b back from the acquisition.

Here's a link to an article on the fix: https://www.theverge.com/news/627940/google-chrome-extensions-paypal-honey-affiliate

you see
to Google, nothing is an issue, until something stupid like this happens.

If they were alot smarter, when Brave fucked it's users over.

If they stepped up and downright "implemented" this fix in their browser back in 2020s.
They would have been hailed as heros and I dare to even say, some "brave" users would go back. Edge wouldn't even have such big marketshare right now.

But sadly, in reality, most of the users all are sheeps to the com,pany.
That will praise every dumb ass move they make as if they are making a jesus update. (like this post)
sorry @HenryObi but it's the truth :c
still lub you

I've never taken browsers who claim to be anti-ad too seriously. They end up being what they claim to hate.

Is this real? I mean, they really do that? Wdf!
I assume that worked with non logged users so they used their affiliate link and generate income for it?

that’s was hard.

very real
they got caught with their pants down
backpeddal and gave out a half-assed apology "Mistake"

yeah, a "we are sorry for fucking you in the ass, we won't do it again" would be alot more convincing than "We made a mistake, we're correcting", it's the "autocompletes" fault
