What about the Capital One extension which was doing the exact same thing?



Makes me want to switch CC every time I log in and see their dumb banner asking me to install the extension.


Eno? Up until recently, that was the only way to generate virtual cards. It's a useful feature for retailers that are too small for me to trust their security. I guess I'll need to start using their website now that it is an option.


Different extension. The Honey like one is Capital One Shopping.


Do you have a source for that? I assume they just sold browsing data, since that's the easiest way to make money in this sort of space (or, I guess, used it to better figure out what kind of credit card you'd consider applying for?)


Honestly, I think they don't have many active users. They're offering me $45 to install it as of this week.


They offered us the same thing, we signed up through it, they never paid out. Uninstalled.


Likely, how else do they make money.
