- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18130291, 6 months agoThis extension does exactly what it says. It does it well and without any negative effect on my browsing. It's not malware (scanned it, lol), and Mozilla is not harming its users.
Gee, I wonder why there are so many 1 star reviews with no specifics or logic behind the ratings.
I'm sure it's nothing to do with the fact that this extension exposes fake reviews of for-profit sellers' products on giant for-profit web sites.
Yeah, sure. A highly respected, non-profit company (Mozilla) that exists entirely to protect users' privacy and provide a high-quality, safer (than Chrome, e.g.) online experience, is for some mysterious reason harvesting private data to harm their users. It makes perfect sense if you don't think about it. - Rated 4 out of 5by rluekens, 6 months agoI enjoy getting a second opinion on items offered by Amazon and Best Buy.

- Rated 2 out of 5by SenpiOmega, 6 months agoIts an interesting product. But as others mentioned, there appears to be zero restrictions around what websites this extension can interact with or record your information from.
It'd put me a bit more ease if they could explicitly outline which websites they target in the permissions tab rather then saying everything. Similar to how keeper does it for price history on Amazon.
Performance wise, there's not much that can happen here unfortunately since its injecting objects all over the page's it can interact with. Its causing a notability slower experience as a result and a bit of an eye sore on top of it (yes I know you can disable things but I don't know what would be deemed important to have or have not).
For HomeDepot, damn near everything is rated D and F. They might need to tweak some things for that. - Rated 5 out of 5by Ferran Buireu, 6 months agoObligada hoy en día. Funciona de maravilla y está respaldada por Mozilla
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17986009, 6 months agoI've been using this since I first heard about it in a podcast way back in 2013(ish). Love it. And I love the web site protection rating.
- Rated 1 out of 5by baruch60610, 6 months agoI had high hopes for this extension. I normally have to check out the reviews of each product I'm interested in, and switch to "recent reviews." This can become burdensome. So Mozilla's Fakespot looked like the ideal add-on. Sadly, it was not.
When I was installing it, I realized that I was somewhat selling my soul to Mozilla, but I clicked "accept" anyway. Sure, take all my data, just spare me fake reviews.
Sadly, that didn't happen. Despite handing over my complete data, I did not get a functional extension. It was buggy, inconsistent, slow, and intrusive. It kept opening tabs I didn't want, completely interfering with my efforts to learn about Amazon products. So - sold my soul for a broken tool. Serves me right.
Spare yourself the trouble. It doesn't work. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18508450, 6 months ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by kdv666, 6 months agoIt'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.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Umbra, 6 months agoYou 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.
