is there not an opensource alternative? i mean its webscraping which is very established surely it exists. anyways we should bring them traction if they too arent evil

I'm down to contributing to such a project. But there wouldn't even be a need for scraping, just crowdsourcing: people can submit coupons on checkout (perhaps try to detect if they are using one, at least on popular sites) and be offered to share them.

Once shared, they are presented to other users, who can try and validate them, or indicate they don't work (for single-use coupons or expired promotions). "Bad" coupons get removed, good coupons keep getting presented to users.

I don’t know what the (country) equivalent is, but the UK has HUKD - they need an extension.

There wouldn't be an extension because it wouldn't make money. This is the whole reason behind how Honey works. Honey is using its existence as an extension to steal commission, and partnering with retailers to suppress certain higher value coupons. HUKD has adverts on its website as one of its means of making money. Something which obviously you couldn't do via an extension or users wouldn't install it.
