What UX library did you use here? It looks like bootstrap but isn't (as far as I can tell).

#32Not a good day to have Honey in the list :)
For anyone else outside the loop, MegaLag released a video [1] yesterday exposing the shady practices by Honey
Re: I built a platform for discovering and sharing Chrome extension collections
#33Interesting, I find it useful. A couple of features you could think about:
1. Is there a feature to create a "pull request" to the collection maintainer to propose adding some extensions to their collection? Otherwise, there would be several public shared collections for the same use-case and it may become scattered.
2. I'd like to be able to favorite / like / star a collection, and that to be used as a signal to search results ranking.
Another adjacent domain to expand could be Tampermonkey scripts.

#34Neat site. Nice to see my extension that I just published a couple of days ago here! It doesn't even have any users yet.
How did you obtain this info? Is there an API for that?

Was curious so just searched. Apparently Honey would try to get the best coupon codes on the web, but they started partnering with businesses to give (say) 10% off via a Honey-specific discount code (e.g. HONEY10), but Honey would ignore other (possibly greater) discounts, thus lulling users into a false sense of security that they were getting the best deal when they often weren't.
Sigh, and I was just thinking about installing it. Time to find another one, or perhaps it will also fall to Goodhart’s Law.
I’d really like to know what exactly you are looking for? There is no such thing as “free” and no browser extension will give you something for free. You are paying, one way or the other…

I’m actually impressed by honey. They could have either just sold the user data, or only switched the referral links, or just showed their users the “best” coupons.
But they went for all of it. I’d have wanted to be in the room when the higher ups chose this path.

Which of your single use extensions was causing you to like things on Facebook?
Not the GP, but just last week Google automatically removed a single use extension ( https://readermode.io ) from my browser after flagging it as malware (as I recall the extension updated itself a day before the removal). The extension has also been taken down from the Chrome web store ( https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/reader-mode/llimhhc... ) though Google hasn't provided any details about what it was doin…

There are several complains in the reviews, though it all seems a bit bizarre in that the issue was with an opt-in so-called "eco-mode" that basically was throwing pop-ups with affiliate links.

Looks like the website is built with Laravel[1] using Livewire[2] (Alpine JS on the front-end) and the UI library used is Flux[3].

#40For what it's worth, if you create a new profile for Chrome extensions, they won't have access to your regular browser profile.
I do this for web developer extensions that typically need a lot of powerful permissions. So I have a Chrome profile that's full of web developer extensions, so they're isolated from private and security sensitive stuff like email and banking.
Similarly, you can do this by installing Chrome Beta or Chrome Canary for use with different extensions you don't want to take a risk with.
