The PayPal Honey extension received its 'featured' flag back in the Chrome web store, raising concerns among users about its rating consistency across platforms, particularly with a current 4.6 star rating on Chrome versus a much lower 2.9 on Firefox. This discrepancy prompted discussions about the integrity of the extension, including reports of alleged scams tied to its promotional practices and accusations of code theft from uBlock Origin. Users are questioning the legitimacy of its 'featured' status and whether it is a result of Google's selective endorsement, suggesting that the decision perhaps lacks transparency. The dialogue also touches on the broader implications of the extension's ratings and Google's responsibility in promoting potentially problematic tools. Users express frustration with how it reflects on Chrome's overall standards and Google's commitment to ethical practices.
