TLDW: MegaLag found code and rules in the Honey extension that modifies behaviour specifically to make discovery of non-compliance with affiliate programs and affiliate poaching harder for testers. This behaviour has been in place since 2017 at least.

    I appreciate the TLDW because the thumbnail made me think this was about bee vomit, not a scammy browser plugin

      I was going to make a joke about big bee and then remembered actual honey is a huge fraud as well, a significant portion of what’s sold as honey isn’t actually honey. Need a good docu on that too.

      Glad it helped. I thought this would need some explaining why I posted it in this community.
