A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I installed it and tried it on occasion, but it never worked for finding any coupons. It was the only extension I had that I kept disabled because I always thought it's interaction with the browser and web pages was sus as fuck.
TBH, it was more of a curiosity I kept around to explore one day. I also dissect and detonate malware a few times a week, so I just treated Honey as such.
(That folder named "malware" on my computer is actually real. I pitty the poor soul who steals it thinking its just a joke to store my private data.)
Unrelated: I finally got my first .SVG downloader today, actually. Whoever the fuck thought it would be a good idea to add a script tag to SVG needs to be put down.
SVG was in part intended as a replacement for Flash, which had animations and interactive graphic elements. The script tag has been there since 2001's SVG 1.0 🤷
