The mobile browser extension allows users to earn cash back and apply coupons when shopping on partner websites from their mobile browser. It monitors browser URLs and displays buttons to activate cash back or automatically apply available coupons. Notifications then confirm cash back activation or coupon application for the shopping session. The extension aims to increase user retention and purchases by reminding users of cash back and coupons when they are off-site. It is compatible with both Android and iOS browsers using technologies like Kotlin, Swift, and various SDKs and libraries.
