Removes Sponsored listings in the search results but adds it's own ads in the item pages themselves.

Privacy concerns, do not install because this extension tracks your browsing (I have reverse-engineered their minified js code and everything you visit is caught and sent to their servers including your browser, your mouse clicks (using sentry.io) and your urlParams (which contains lots of useful information (UTM for example)))

This extension is an excellent idea and has so much potential. Unfortunately, its analysis is highly unreliable. I went through the items I purchased before, fully aware of their reliable reviews. This extension returned F grades for most of them. When shopping for new items, I could spot many reviews that are likely to be fake. But this extension returned high grades, A through C, mostly A or B.

More AI nonsense. Doesn't point out what reviews it thinks are fake, shows your random summaries that give you nearly exactly the same info you can get just from a quick glance at the reviews and seller page.

Mozilla appears to be trend-chasing again rather than improving their products. Just read the Fakespot privacy policy and you can tell quite clearly that this is *not* the Mozilla we know and trust anymore.

Fakespot requires disabling your ad blocker! This is completely unacceptable. The add-on will not work correctly if you've got an ad-blocker such as ublock origin blocking spam and ads. It's too bad, as this is a good idea, but it's not worth the trade.

Fakespot includes ads from googletagmanager, cookiebot, and googleoptimize.

Rubbish.

It has no bearing on the quality of the product nor value of the ratings.

It does not point out which reviews it thinks are false.

Many of the grades say outdated and require retesting.

Gives bad grades for several items that are good.

Gives good grades for items that I have had to send back.

"Powered by Mozilla. Putting people before profits since 1998." - Mozilla

Mozilla, from what I've seen, your company has been dedicated to providing your users privacy and great tools to combat tracking of all forms. This tool/add-on directly goes against those ideals and has started a rift between you and your customers/users, especially through your endorsement of this product. The product does not work on Amazon, as it promises, and it takes a lot more of my data than I am comfortable with.
I really don't want to leave this platform, but the more you sell out to shady companies, like this and Amazon, the less inclined I am to believe you are serious about internet safety and security. Please, get rid of this add-on, or fix it. Money is not everything. Once you give in to money as your primary reasoning behind these shady decisions, you will have failed the users completely.

Ironic that the purpose of this extension is to spot fake reviews, yet has over 50 fake 5-star reviews for it here. *DO NOT INSTALL THIS ADD-ON* Do NOT agree to it's invasive privacy data collection. Get this junk off the add-ons store.

that privacy policy might as well read "you have no right to privacy"

forced data collection. avoid.

forced opt-in data harvesting scheme

Don't Work

Is it really opt-in when it is forced?

When I did not agree with the terms of agreement I was asked to submit my reason. I indicated other and responded, "Forced Opt-In". When I clicked the "Submit" button I received a 405 error - suggesting that my response was not delivered(?)

Despite claiming they're a "privacy-first company", the add-on will collect your username on various sites, all the products you view, search history, and the products you buy.

They have the gall to say they will never sell any data, but it clearly states in the privacy policy they will use this collected information to market items, sellers, provide ads, and "Sharing personal information with third parties".

Abysmal.

It works as expected, but one star for forcing "Opt-in" on data collection. Your choices are to opt-in or uninstall. Opt-in means I have a choice. You have removed that choice, so there is no opting in. Either I accept the terms and conditions, or I don't.

This addon requires you to give your data to them for it to function, this is a gross violation of privacy and an abusive strategy to generate revenue from its users.

No longer functional

Was fine until Mozilla purchased it. I assume Amazon may have paid Mozilla to neuter the app. No longer sorts according to Fakespot score, no longer shows the Fakespot score on the search results page, no longer can eliminate the F scores.

Good job Mozilla, you're now part of the problem.

I have had the fakespot add-on for a long time and it worked beautifully until I 1st got the notice that it had been acquired by Mozilla. I have had Mozilla products for years and love them, but Fakespot no longer works well when I am logged into Amazon. I do not shop at e-Bay much so can't comment on that or any other website, but if it continues to be difficult to use with Amazon I will have to uninstall it.
