- Bewertet mit 3 von 5 Sternenvon Firefox-Benutzer 20070079, vor 5 TagenConceptually a good idea, I can't find the advertised settings to make it work with etsy though? Also very US centred which is worth bearing in mind if you live anywhere else.

geschrieben am vor 5 TagenEtsy hasn't rolled out to Firefox yet as Firefox has been holding the app in review (without updates) for nearly 2 weeks. - Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternenvon Simon, vor 6 Tagen

- Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternenvon Quinnypig, vor 16 TagenThis shows a level of Customer Obsession that once upon a time Amazon themselves would have embraced. The fact that something like this has to exist is a stunning indictment of how far from its roots Amazon has come.
I'm glad this exists, but also sad that it has to. - Bewertet mit 5 von 5 Sternenvon joe28753, vor 16 TagenStill seems like early days, with occasional false positives or false negatives. But it’s very promising, the community can contribute feedback to improve it, and the developer is very responsive to feedback with lots of quick updates.

- Bewertet mit 4 von 5 Sternenvon Laurazepam, vor 16 TagenWould recommend, but it needs more work. The knockoff brand name recognition isn't perfect (especially for non-English brand names), but they are actively improving it. The privacy policy seems absolutely sensible to me. Yeah some things are technically private browsing data, but how else would this work? Would feel better about it if it was opensource tho. Is there really a good reason for a browser extension to not be opensource nowadays? Still, it's a useful tool.

geschrieben am vor 16 TagenThanks for the feedback! Definitely pushing out updates every day to improve the brand name recognition.
A number of the ways we make the recognition more accurate is by sending some on-page data about the seller to our servers (where we've got a MUCH larger database than can be realistically bundled with a browser extension). That's what those additional browser permissions enable.
Definitely keep the feedback coming. If you notice any funny business just hit the "Send Feedback" button in the extension and I'll dig into it! - Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternenvon quikket, vor 16 TagenIst verkommen zu

- Bewertet mit 3 von 5 Sternenvon Firefox-Benutzer 20036283, vor 22 TagenBe very careful. This extension seemed like a great idea and I started happily using it in large part because the developer stated that "Everything runs locally in your browser. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. The only network request is a daily brand-list refresh." However, in the last update the extension now requires a new permission to "collect website content." No information about the purpose of the data collection or the specific data being collected is provided.
Mozilla does provides a link to “Learn More” about the new permission being granted. Their definition of the term ‘website content’ takes a bit of work to find but it seems to be “covers anything visible on a website — such as text, images, videos, and links — and anything embedded, such as cookies, audio, page headers, and request and response information.”
This may or may not be okay. I’m not sure but I am certainly not taking the update until the developer provides more clarity on the purpose of this new permission and what data the extension can and can not collect (e.g., my user name and password, email address, etc.). In any case, the fact that an update was issued with this new permission required with no explanation is very problematic.
Update: the developer's response seems reasonable, but I still would have much preferred if he had left the data collection effort out of the extension entirely. It does not add that much and it certainly provides an opportunity for an unscrupulous individual or entity to obtain valuable user information at any time in the future. So unfortunately, I am going to delete what would have been a very valuable and useful extension. A decision to make it safe again would bring me right back.Antwort des Entwicklers
geschrieben am vor 20 TagenSorry about the lack of clarity! Firefox doesn't really provide a great way to surface "why" around a change in permissions (at least not one that doesn't require you to go digging through buried extension changelogs). At any rate.
You're right. That quote is mine, from the 0.1.0 notes. It was true then, but it isn't now, and shipping the change without telling you is my mistake.
0.7.0 and 0.8.0 added two features, both on by default, both switchable off in options:
1. "Seller country" sends seller IDs to show where a seller is based.
2. "Help pick US alternatives" sends the ASIN, title, brand, and seller ID of product pages you open.
To your question: no, it cannot see your username, password, or email. It reads a few specific product elements and sends only those fields. Never form inputs, cookies, searches, or orders. Server-side it's one row per product with a view counter. No IP, session, or account stored beside it.
The labels are Firefox's fixed vocabulary. There's no bucket for "just the product page you're on," so I declared the honest maximum rather than under-declare. Mozilla's definition describes the category ceiling, not what Knockoff does.
Working on updating our Firefox listing now to clarify this.
Thanks for the feedback! - Bewertet mit 1 von 5 Sternenvon Firefox-Benutzer 20035832, vor 22 Tagen
