Google updates Chrome extension guidance in wake of Honey drama
The changes don't mention Honey specifically
Honey, a PayPal-owned browser extension ostensibly meant to help users find coupons when shopping online, has been at the center of an ongoing controversy for a couple of months now. In December, YouTuber MegaLag posted a video labeling the extension a scam that siphons money from creators and regularly fails to actually save users money. In January, lawyer Devin Stone of the Legal Eagle YouTube channel announced a lawsuit against Honey, alleging more or less the same as MegaLag. Now, Google's updated its rules around Chrome extensions, seemingly in a bid to prevent similar behavior from other add-ons.
