Affiliate Link Injection? [Confirmation Required]

Description of the issue:

When trying to access https://www.joinhoney.com, I get automatically forwarded to https://www.joinhoney.com/ref/jus9gwp

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Visit https://www.joinhoney.com
  2. Redirect happens similar to the Binance affiliate link injection a few months ago.

Expected result:

No redirection, normal visit to https://www.joinhoney.com

Brave Version: Version 1.13.82 Chromium: 85.0.4183.83 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Additional Information:

Help me reproduce this issue, maybe this is adware or really some affiliate links that are still being injected while using Brave.

@senic,
I don’t think I understand the issue? When I go to joinhoney.com I land on the official Honey website.

That is the reason I wrote [Confirmation Required]. Affiliate link injection has been done by Brave in the past, that is why I got suspicious. Maybe it is a chrome extension interacting with this, thats why additional confirmation is required.

Did you type it in manually or just click the link?

@senic,
Both ways bring me to the website I’d expect to be brought to. I have to enter the website link w/the referral in it in order to land on a different page.
