# Caramel

> Caramel is a free, open-source, privacy-first browser extension that finds and
> applies coupon codes automatically at checkout. It does not sell browsing data
> and does not overwrite creators' affiliate commissions.

## What it is

- A browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari.
- Free to use, with no paid tier and no account required to install.
- Open source under the DevinoSolutions organization: https://github.com/DevinoSolutions/caramel
- Positioned as an alternative to Honey for shoppers who care about privacy and
  about not hijacking creator commissions.

## How it works

1. You shop normally; Caramel detects a supported store's checkout page.
2. It looks up known coupon codes for that store from its own catalog.
3. It tries the codes at checkout and keeps the one with the best discount.
