    I always assumed that they were tracking you and selling your data out the wazoo, which is why I never installed the extension, but the shit about the affiliate jacking and colluding with businesses is wild.

      I did install it at some point, and let me assure you: you didn’t miss out on much.

      I figured, there are already dozens if not hundreds of companies tracking my purchases, this one at least claims to give me some value in return. So I installed it in my online shopping profile.

      Well, turns out that the stuff about finding coupons is utter bullshit. 6 or so online purchases on different stores in the span of a few months, and it didn’t find a single coupon. Complete garbage.
