Capital One ((COF – Free report) has arranged a lawsuit by makers of social media who claimed that the free browser extension of the bank has taken them from committees about the sale generated through their content.
Capital One and Makers collectively submitted a settlement message in the Alexandria, VA, Federal Court, with provisional approval expected before November 17. This was first reported by Reuters.

Details of the trial against Capital One
The lawsuit concerns affiliate marketing, a system in which makers promote content on their platforms and social media channels in exchange for committee -based income from online retailers and external marketers.
According to makers, the Capital One Shopping -Browser extension, which has more than 10 million users, is used to discover discounts. It was wrongly reflected Capital One as the source of referral traffic in the checkout, making it seem as if consumers had clicked on the bank’s referral connections before they had made purchases.
The makers claimed that this capital One enabled to collect millions of dollars in committees that rightly belonged to bloggers, influencers, YouTubers and other content makers.
In June 2025, the American district judge Anthony Trenga ruled that influencers presented a plausible matter that Capital One’s browser extension has diverted their committees by staggering tracking codes. Claims of unjust enrichment, contract interference and violation of the Federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act were pursued, while a conversion claim and four claims at state level were rejected.
