Fakespot Fake Amazon Reviews and eBay Sellers by Firefox
Review by Firefox user 14489884
Rated 1 out of 5
by Firefox user 14489884, 4 years agoNeeded something like this with all the fake reviews out there. Tested it on a several Amazon products, incl some I got burned on and suspected fake reviews or pay for 5*. FS rated both the worst ones reviews a B with "minimal deception" and all good on the pay for 5* on totally terrible product (I know b/c I received the offer to change my review, and a few reviews mentioned it, esp on seller). The other bad product said all was fine, but that Amazon modified 74,662 reviews (but there are only 37,957), yet FS said 80% "high quality" reviews. Great on Amazon to remove or w/e 2/3 of the reviews (or does this mean reviewer mods as well?), but how can the other metrics be so good? Also, the Amazon rating on every product I checked was the same as the FS, in one case 5* (riiiight, on 9,384 reviews of a horrible, scam product). So, for my uses, the results and usefulness don't justify the privacy invasion.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Tom Harrington, 8 days agoFakespot was formerly one of the best Firefox add-ons. Since it is now GONE, Fakespot is useless. I need an alternative. Dear Fakespot - Firefox: WHY?????
- Rated 1 out of 5by rainbowtv, 13 days agostill works past the 1st somehow for me. rating 1 star bc i'm mad at mozilla for pulling a microsoft and shutting down something that a lot of people relied upon. especially without any given reason or any news from the original developers as to why. this was genuinely one of THE BEST extensions you couldve gotten for firefox, outside of privacybadger and ublock origin. why did you buy this if you're just going to shut it down 2 years later? what would be smarter is either keeping it up, letting the original devs have it back, make it open source, or implement the feature directly into the browser itself. extremely dumb decision.

- Rated 5 out of 5by BrysonThill, 22 days agoHow disappointing to see it go. 😭 I'm working on a replacement add-on for myself and others, in case anyone wants to get notified when it's released. The site can be found at truestar.pro.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Spencer, a month agoPlease, don't shut it down. It's proven to be a useful tool and tons of people use it. If you don't want it anymore, just sell it to someone who does.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Foooo, a month agoSHAME on you Mozilla. You bought something that was in no danger of going under, and then threw it away.

- Rated 5 out of 5by srmantel, a month agoThis extension will be gone after July 1, 2025. I am really going to miss it. For the few months I used it I came to rely on it's ratings. I hope it returns.
