Last year, the browser extension Honey got caught up in controversy over how it took affiliate revenue away from creators. Instead of only taking credit when it saved users money, Honey attempted to use its own affiliate ID for all sales. Google is now updating Chrome extension affiliate ad policies to explicitly forbid this practice.

As a result of the Honey expose, Google has now changed its Chrome extension policies concerning affiliate ads and marketing.

Honey was accused of shadily swapping out affiliate links, and now Google has new rules for extensions targeting exactly that.
