Show HN: I Made an Extension That Makes You Money

Hey HN.

I built Mint Cashback, a browser extension that gives you cashback without needing an account.

Most competitors are bloated and require signups, I built my own cashback API aggregator and tracking system to split commissions 50/50 with users.

Would appreciate any feedback.

I'll admit I didn't dig super far on your site. What about the fact that I'm pretty sure Mint is already a trademark for some budgeting software and more importantly what guarantees do users have that you're not the next Honey transparency wise?

Hi, I'm Alex.

I realized I didn't like any existing cashback platforms,

So I built an alternative.
