"Store unlimited amount of client-side data
Access your data for all websites"

As another reviewer wrote - malware

Useful tool but they've slowly changed it to spy on everything you do online. Do not install

It's not 100% effective, but it's a good tool to have. Amazon's reviews are becoming less and less trustworthy, and they don't seem to care at all. I use both this and CamelCamelCamel which spots the fake "Sale!" prices.

One star for the privacy issues alone.

You don't actually "need" the data from my machine. I'm willing to bet if I block all outgoing traffic to your servers at a network level, the extension will still work just fine. I was alright sharing some data until you became more heavy handed with it. Now you cannot have any of my data ever again. Collect responsibly or not at all.

I have loved this add-on for a long time, but the new privacy stuff gets a 1 star and uninstall.

It used to work much better, but what really pushed me away was this dishonest privacy policy change, about collecting (and likely selling) user data. Thanks but no thanks. Do better.

This addon was updated with complete and total disrespect for user privacy. It wasn't enough for Mozilla to become a total freakshow organization staffed exclusively with mentally ill management, they also have to become data harvesting psychos.

One star for the privacy issues alone.

After analyzing the Fakespot privacy policy and the Mozilla Manifesto, I've identified several inconsistencies which highlight differences in their approaches to internet privacy and user rights. Here are the key points of divergence:

Data Collection and User Privacy:

Mozilla's Principle 4 states that "Individuals' security and privacy on the internet are fundamental and must not be treated as optional." However, Fakespot's privacy policy outlines extensive data collection practices, including personal information, device information, and user behavior. This broad data collection seems at odds with Mozilla's emphasis on fundamental privacy rights.

User Control Over Data:

Mozilla's Principle 5 asserts that "Individuals must have the ability to shape the internet and their own experiences on it." In contrast, Fakespot's policy gives users limited control over their data. While it mentions some user rights, the process for exercising these rights isn't clearly outlined, and the policy takes a "take it or leave it" approach to consent.

Transparency and Accountability:

Mozilla's Principle 8 emphasizes "Transparent community-based processes promote participation, accountability and trust." Fakespot's policy, however, lacks specificity in areas such as data retention periods and the process for policy changes, which could be seen as less transparent and accountable.

Commercial Interests vs. Public Benefit:

Mozilla's Principle 9 states, "Commercial involvement in the development of the internet brings many benefits; a balance between commercial profit and public benefit is critical." Fakespot's policy seems more heavily weighted towards commercial interests, with extensive data collection and sharing practices that primarily benefit the company and its partners.

Open and Accessible Internet:

Mozilla's Principle 2 declares that "The internet is a global public resource that must remain open and accessible." While Fakespot provides a service intended to help users, its data collection and processing practices could be seen as creating barriers to open and free internet use, particularly for privacy-conscious individuals.

Enriching Individual Lives:

Mozilla's Principle 3 states that "The internet must enrich the lives of individual human beings." While Fakespot aims to provide valuable services, its extensive data collection and sharing practices could be seen as potentially compromising individual privacy and autonomy, which some might argue doesn't align with enriching lives.

Useless, misleading. This rates first party Nintendo products/games an "F". Sure, ok. Who knows what else it gets wrong. Permissions are way too invasive. Try again Mozilla.

Wanted to love this but between the data collection policy and inconsistency in the ability to parse out junk products, I have to say this add on is about 90% useless.

If Mozilla reworks this add on I would consider using it again.

disgusting that Mozilla would put out such a blatant datamining product
