who's here because of Honey?

Works great but can be a little overzealous on some links. For example: "amazon.com/dp/A...Z" highlights and shows a hover warning for potential amazon affiliate link despite it JUST being dp/productID. Another minor issue is that the CSS for the popup and the extension container doesn't opt into color-scheme or respect the users prefers-color-scheme (basically there should be light mode when your system is light mode). It would be great if you added a way to submit issues to a GitHub repo for tracking or even open sourced it. I'm sure lots of people would be willing to contribute to make it even better.

I appreciate this extension and all the work that was put in it but can we have the option to disable the red "breathing" glow effect? It is rather distracting as it tends to block parts of the website as the glow effect tends to stack where there are a lot of affiliate links, and it also causes my laptop fans to ramp up to 100% which is rather annoying as well. Checking the system temps, just a handful of affiliate links will cause my CPU to peg 90 degrees C and thermal throttle, switch to a tab without affiliate links and the CPU returns to 63 degrees C, this part of the extension is rather poorly optimized.

Just popping up on different sites even though its my only extension I have.

Danny Hanacek
It's a good extension however could you either refrain from using AI to make like 95% of the source or add notices that you used AI to vibe code this extension.
T Hanke
great, but wouldn't using extensions like ghostery go one step further, rather than just SHOWING you the cookies, actually blocking them?

Cool idea - but loads Google Font on every page you visit wher this font isn't present: // Load Space Mono font if (!document.querySelector('link[href*="Space+Mono"]')) { const fontLink = document.createElement('link'); fontLink.href = 'https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Space+Mono:wght@400;700&display=swap'; fontLink.rel = 'stylesheet'; document.head.appendChild(fontLink); } Not very good for privacy.

Great to see the source is readable. Can you make the repo public and open it for PRs? It’ll be much easier for us to contribute and help maintain it.
