The browser designs look identical to Arc, yes, but the website of these two new “Arc responses” also look the same, down to the background color.

I got Shingles around age 30 which is pretty uncommon. I was really lucky, it presented as rash on my upper back, more on one side than the other. I did not know what it was and I had no pain or itching. One day I got a mild fever out of no

This is also outdated. Gorhill did release uBlock Origin Lite for iOS Safari.

Would at least like to use it for stop and go traffic, which is about the only thing I trust FSD for.

Motion smoothing is awful.

Isn't that just the right thing to do, statistically? Vegas has been operating profitably this way for decades.

It needs to be incorporated into the robots.txt standard.

Congrats on the launch! Given you were in YC S21, when AI was much more under the radar, did you recently pivot? I'm guessing it wasn't a 4 year road to launch.

It was never a secret that shopping extensions monetized through affiliate. Merchants certainly know what they’re signing up for.

I guess you never got a PS2/PS3/PS4/PS5? Sometimes, the internals are the right thing to upgrade. And there definitely is some hardware innovations. I look forward to learning more!

Hey that's totally fair, appreciate the feedback.

People should also be angry at all these other extensions and companies, they’re complicit and just as bad. But the source of change needs to come from the affiliate networks, who dictate the rules.

My account is 11 years old. How dare I try to share a perspective as somebody who worked in the affiliate industry.

I posted it twice because there’s multiple comments covering the same thing. You can look at my post history. I’m just trying to give an industry perspective. I’m not supporting what Honey or any shopping extension does.

I agree it's a problem. I believe the affiliate networks should switch to first-click or multi-click attribution. Problem solved.

They do this to not interrupt the purchase flow, not to be scummy. Opening a tab in the foreground or refreshing the page is extremely annoying to users and merchants request it to be in the background so it doesn't hurt their conversi

I don't know anyone over there anymore, just a few people back before they were acquired, from when I worked in the industry. I'm just trying to provide an industry perspective.

I'm not saying this isn't a problem, it's just not a Honey-specific problem. If he actually wanted to influence change, he should cover the affiliate networks responsible for dictating this behavior (CJ, Impact, Rakuten, Awin

You can replicate his same case and see for yourself. Click an affiliate link and go to checkout. Honey won't pop-up like normal. He doesn't provide the context for what his timescale is for his specific case. He cites that it can

I already agreed the affiliate industry has issues (and is part of the reason I left). If they switched to first-click or multi-click attribution, none of this would be a problem. But I am just saying it's not a Honey problem, the blam

I heard that vague snippet from the podcast in the video. From my time in the affiliate space (which was a few years ago), Honey would not let merchants delete a code unless it was an employee or internal code. If it was publicly available,

They don't just swap out everyone's cookies. They comply their the affiliate network's "stand down" policies. Which means they don't actively try to poach commissions in the same shopping session. These are ter

Why do you assume they are always stealing a referral from somebody? Do you think everything people buy comes from a prior affiliate link? Yes, Honey makes money from affiliate commission. That money is funded by the merchants who voluntari

This video is just rage bait and weaponizing creators and their fans by singling out Honey and not providing any additional context. Anybody in the affiliate industry knows how last click attribution works. This isn't new or specific t

Honey specifically asks the user if they want to share the code and tries to make sure it's not employee code. No need to jump to conclusions.
