Capital One Shopping: Save Now by Capital One Shopping
Review by J-FF
Rated 1 out of 5
by J-FF, 3 years agoThis extension does NOT effectively or accurately do what it claims -- the exaggerated claim masks what it really is: A universal tracker and data collection app for everything you see and do with Firefox. You have to provide an email address to use it! I ran a test based on a purchase I made the day before: I found a specific SSD drive on Amazon with their best price of $74.50 but then looked around and found it on Ebay for $68.00 and bought it there. So today, after installing this extension, I ran the exact same purchase test on Amazon: After the $74.50 price came up on Amazon the Capital One Shopper did NOT pop up with the price of $68.00 on Ebay (or anywhere else).
The access permissions for this extension enable it to collect your PERSONAL, NON-ANONYMOUS data on absolutely EVERYTHING you do in Firefox in real time from all open tabs and searches. Then, by its own admission, immediately sends this personalized data back to Capital One for their use and storage (and ostensibly so they can find you "like, the absolute bestest price EVER!") Sure the user agrees to this during installation, but how many people realize just how invasive it is and that it really does not do what it claims very well? This extension crosses the line into serious privacy abuse and seems like it may even present a security vulnerability to the Firefox platform.
Do not install it and open the account they require for it to operate "just to give it a try" because the second it becomes active in your Firefox it will immediately grab everything it can find and send it to Capital One with your name and email address on it. And they don't let you change the email address you give them when activating the extension.

- Rated 1 out of 5by DonFlymoor, 3 months agoSame scam as honey, replaces affiliate codes with their own without even providing a useful service
- Rated 1 out of 5by Synetech, 3 months agoUtter rubbish. They try to trick you into letting them permanently track you across the entire Internet in exchange for a one-time $15 credit that has more strings attached than Pinocchio. 🙄 And you have to create YET ANOTHER account to do it at that, you can't even just log in with your existing Capital One account, you must create a separate Capital One Shopping account to give them all of your personal information all over again to get hacked and breached and leaked. 😒
