Wants to much info about my browsing habits

I actually love this addon. Unfortunately, it quit working in Firefox a few weeks ago. It's analyzer hangs up and never goes to the final report; works great in other browsers, but I prefer using FF. Hopefully, the developer finds the bug and fixes it. (Windows 11)

This is an awesome extension. I saw another review that said they were wary of the 1 star reviews, which is what convinced me to download. I totally agree--Idk what the 1 star reviews are talking about this extension is dope and a game changer. from what I can tell it doesnt slow down my computer and doesnt seem sketchy or anything. 5 stars

Weirdly, there were a number of products with fewer than a couple hundred reviews (books) that were graded terribly but the reviews, upon scanning through them, were actually clearly real, and the majority of them were obviously from people who had bought AND read the book. So, I'm not loving the idea of small authors being totally bombed by this extension.

Additionally, while I was running the extension on a product that hadn't had its reviews scanned through before, I accidentally closed the tab. I was hoping to just restart the process but the extension had already given the product a grade! That's a serious flaw honestly. It's not a fair grade at all.

So while I started out enjoying the extension well enough, my trust in it degraded too much to justify using it anymore. If you choose to use it, just be careful with items with fewer reviews than most popular products---you might have to give them a scan to verify the grade given, which defeats the purpose of the extension.

Works really great. The proof's in the pudding: I've ordered a lot of products using this as an extra filtering tool; this has definitely led me to a marked improvement in quality (from household items to electronics). I'm (ironically) very suspicious of all the 1-star reviews of this add-on.

this review will probably be fake too!

best ever
best!!!!!

Works great.

Giudica negative le recensioni di un prodotto che ho personalmente acquistato più volte negli ultimi 10 anni. Se dovessi fidarmi del suo voto F, dovrei diffidare di conseguenza del prodotto e del produttore. Ho disinstallato. Grazie.

Fakespot completely broke Firefox for me. As soon as I installed it, every single page stopped loading—just an endless loading screen, no matter what site I tried. Thought it might be my connection, but other browsers on the same machine worked fine. Uninstalled Fakespot, and Firefox was instantly back to normal. Hard to see how it wasn’t the addon causing the issue.

Unless they fix whatever’s going on here, I can’t recommend it at all.

Wirklich? Sämtliche Webseiten von mir werden mit dem Plugin gescannt und dort an einen Server gesendet und weiter verarbeitet? Nein Danke!

I insalled this after getting pissed off with reviewmeta.com, which seems to be completely moribund and buggy as hell now.

On the face of it this Fakespot extension is a much better bet. I can see the review ratings right there on the Amazon listings and, with Mozilla behind it, I can be relatively certain its:

A: safe to use.
B: updated regularly.

Unfortunately, the reports generated aren't helpful at all—hence my 2-star rating. The extension will give a product's ratings a grade. But there's no information as to how this grade was arrived at. Even clicking through to go onto the Fakespot site and read the in-depth analysis leaves me none the wiser. It just seems to summarise various highlights taken from the reviews [which, in the case of Amazon, is now done by Amazon themselves anyway].

The extension would be a hell of a lot more useful, if it explained WHY a product's reviews were graded low quality. For example, ReviewMeta [when it works] elaborates on this by showing [for example]; that X% of reviewers have only ever reviewed this product, that X% of reviews contain the exact same phrases that X% of reviewers give any product they review a 5-star rating, etc. etc.

C'mon Mozilla. Act like you're sitting an exam here and show us your working out as well as your answers!
