CNET Shopping
CNET Shopping is a browser extension designed to save both time and money by searching thousands of retailers for the lowest possible prices on any given product. Simply point your browser at any online retailer product page, and it instantly informs you if there are cheaper options available; plus it alerts you if a price drops, saving you from searching endlessly for coupon codes online.
Browser extensions can enhance your online shopping experience and save you money by offering extra features, like automatic coupon application, cash-back rewards, and price tracking. These simple tools integrate easily with browsers making them an indispensable asset for savvy shoppers.
Honey, Rakuten and Klarna are among the leading extensions. These tools automatically scan for and apply coupons at checkout; some may even help save on shipping costs! In addition, these extensions track prices so they can add items if they go on sale automatically to your cart; some even offer cash-back rewards by linking their app with your credit card!
Klarna
Klarna is a deferred payment service offering flexible payment options. Their user-friendly app enables customers to manage purchases, earn cash back and receive payment reminders. Klarna provides customer support by reaching out when payments are missed; should this happen, Klarna will work to find repayment solutions and will contact the customer to assist. Klarna’s popularity among online shoppers makes it an attractive option; however its policies can present obstacles for certain shoppers; for example: not financing haircuts or car repairs and prohibition against purchasing alcohol firearms or sexual content purchases.
Klarna can make purchasing easy – simply select it as your payment method at checkout and provide your email address, then it will perform a soft credit check before charging you the full amount after 30 days without incurring interest charges. Klarna services are offered by many major retailers and its popularity has led to higher conversion rates on ecommerce websites; its other features include instant delivery and free returns.
Honey
Both Capital One Shopping and Honey offer coupon codes to help shoppers save money when making online purchases. Both extensions are free to use on Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Microsoft Edge browsers and work by scanning sites you visit for discounts – or manually searching for offers.
Honey stands apart from many shopping extensions by not collecting your search history or personal details; instead it sends information back to its servers in order to verify purchases and offer cashback through its Honey Gold program. You can view their Privacy & Security Policy before downloading this extension.
Honey provides cashback on many retailers and boasts over 17 million members globally. Honey also provides additional features, such as Droplists that allows users to keep track of items of interest and be alerted if prices drop; additionally, users can use this app to collect PayPal rewards which they can later exchange for cash or gift cards.

The free extension seamlessly integrates with your browser and alerts you of available Rakuten offers while shopping at participating retailers. InvisibleHand takes an unobtrusive approach to deal-finding, operating quietly in the background until discovering potential savings opportunities that warrant its appearance.
The app lets you link both credit and debit cards, giving you access to in-store offers that can be combined with discounts from sales events or credit card perks. Furthermore, it identifies coupon codes with lucrative savings opportunities while offering the option of creating Droplists so that specific items may be monitored for price drops. However, due to its data collection practices this service raises privacy issues that should be carefully considered before using it.
