It has to be the same shtick as honey, but unlike honey you're getting some value from it I guess.

For a moment after watching the Honey video, I considered setting up a company and a browser addon to do the same, but be upfront about it: You buy items, we get the affiliate fee, but you get half the affiliate fee as cashback in a month or two when it's been processed and paid out, at least for some large storefronts like Amazon and then other high ticket items like NordVPN which apparently pays a huge percentage out to affiliates because it's so overpriced they can have outrageous discounts and/or pay affiliates.

Then I realized it'd be a pain to set up on the legal side of things likely.

Microsoft has this build in their edge browser😆no addon needed

Yeah but then you'd have to use Edge.

Not as if this Feature would make edge any better 😂
