How to deactivate third party extensions?
Why do I get a pop-up window about turning off third-party extensions?
This window appears as a warning that the user has third-party extensions.
Extensions can help in some cases and be inconvenient in others. Sometimes you don’t know about them or forget that they are installed because they don’t have any visible reasons to be disabled.
We do understand that some processes can be effected discreetly, and finding out that cash back wasn’t credited is always frustrating. To make cash back activation easier and more slick, we’ve decided to check for third-party extensions.
How to know what extensions to disable?
- Extensions of other cash back services
- Ad blocking extensions
- Antivirus extensions
- Price tracking extensions. This functionality is included in our extension - you can use it instead.
After cash back activation, the informational window will appear. It displays a list of extensions which can interfere with cash back accrual.
💡 Remember that such informational window appears only if you installed the Megabonus extension.
If you need to check which and how many extensions are still enabled, press on “Check third party extensions”.
Why do I need to disable third-party extensions?
By activating cash back, you generate a special link for your purchase. Our partners trace your purchase and credit your cash back through this link.
Some extensions can block this link and by that interrupt the process of cash back activation. The result is cash back not being displayed in your account.
For example, AdBlock can block pop-up ad and help you with unwanted ads, but it can also block a profitable link.
