    1 star for making me install this addon instead of using the website as normal 😢

    Hi,

    Thanks for your feedback. We are not forcing anyone to install the extension. Our analyzer bar is and will always be available in our website's menu.

    Requiring global permissions for a website-specific extension is beyond egregiously invasive, and signals to me that the creators of the extension harbour some kind of ill intent against my privacy for their own benefit. ReviewMeta, a competing service, has an extension which does not require global permissions.

    Hi 14207336,

    Thanks for your feedback. We do not harbor any kind of ill intent against your privacy. Instead, we greatly value your privacy and encourage you to read our privacy policy.

    We require these permissions because we analyze hundreds of thousands of Shopify web stores. Other popular shopping extensions such as Honey and Rakuten require the same permissions because they also have to work on many websites.

    While we cannot comment on Reviewmeta's privacy practices, their service only analyzes Amazon. Fakespot analyzes Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Best Buy, Sephora, and Shopify web stores.

    If you have any questions about our privacy policy and practices please email us at contact@fakespot.com.

    Apple removed Fakespot, which claims to detect bad sellers and fake reviews, from the App Store after Amazon complained that the app provided misleading info (@starfire2258

    Hi 12933673,

    We will be back on iOS soon. Amazon's accusations of us misleading customers are baseless.

    I used Fakespot constantly for Amazon for a long time, and have always appreciated that service. And I don't mind developers wanting a revenue stream, however the idea that they want permission to scan every URL I visit, basically tracking my internet activity? Ridiculously intrusive and a deal breaker for me. No way I download this extension.

    There is no reason why this addon needs to scan every single site I visit. It should be restricted to only domains I want it to check or domains it has an active database for. Gathering data on every site I visit for no reason with no way for me to disable it is predatory and why I wont trust this service ever again.
