> The entire point of Honey is that it is activated at checkout: how else could it work?

There is a (imo bad faith) argument that Honey directs you to a cheaper vendor (How? When? I’ve never seen it) thus saving the consumer money. I have never seen anyone use Honey this way and I’m not even sure what user behavior / UI they have built up around this flow but I feel it’s just to cover their ass.
