Any privacy-friendly shopping extensions? (lemmy.world)

I love extensions that help me save money, like Honey (for crowdsourced discount codes). But Honey sends all my data to PayPal, which means that I use it sparingly and only enable it when it's time to checkout. That's inconvenient.

Are there any extensions like Honey (or Lolli) that are privacy-friendly?

Just manually search for discounts and coupons. If you are in Australia, for example, the OzBargain forum is a great resource and often superior to Honey anyway.

Slickdeals forums are one US equivalent.

Yeh, OzBargain is pretty much the only aussie coupons site which isn't a scam. 50% of the time, it works every time.
