- Rated 1 out of 5by Clutterfunk, 4 days agoSeriously... and its made by Mozilla as well :( I guess they will have to get your data somehow...
- Rated 1 out of 5by Pitt, 5 days agoI uninstalled it without hesitation after their extortionate notice about the collection and use of my data

- Rated 1 out of 5by Slight, 8 days agoThis was proving pretty useful but the recent requirement to opt in to their privacy policy which is totally unnecessary to provide the service means an uninstall from me.
- Rated 1 out of 5by UnderscoreOfficial, 9 days agoWow yes I sure do love a opt in to for us to collect your data or uninstall our extension prompt. Such a choice we have either opt in to our privacy invading policy or don't use our extension what a choice.
- Rated 1 out of 5by tutmeister, 10 days agoMozilla acquired Fakespot in 2023. In January 2024 they updated the privacy policy to include "All personal information processed by us may be transferred, processed, and stored anywhere in the world, including, but not limited to, the United States or other countries, which may have data protection laws that are different from the laws where you live."
This is a kick in the teeth to GDPR, which is intended to safeguard EU citizens from countries such as the United States, with little-to-no privacy safeguards from vulture-like marketing. They're using the wording to state that as long as you use this service, they can and will use your data to profile you, transmit it anywhere in the world, share it with third parties, and likely sell it to third parties too. So great, you get to see if a review is fake, but at the same time, you're now a bigger target for spammers, scammers, and other cybercriminal factions.
Give this a wide berth. There are no good alternatives at this time. Mozilla, for its mission of building a better internet, has once again been let down by the [lack of] leadership. Their new CEO has a purely commercial background, so this is not unsurprising. - Rated 1 out of 5by tackleberry, 10 days agoWas decent, now sells you private data. Do not use or install.
- Rated 1 out of 5by ROMAD, 10 days agoUninstalled today after getting the notice about collecting date. Too bad, was a decent extension until that.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13906799, 14 days agoIt's inconsistent. I've seen a seller I trust be having a different rating on each product page. This add-on is useless.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Jeff, 17 days agoLike a charismatic salesman saying you can trust him while stabbing you in the back, this extension promises to keep you safe from scams while simultaneously harvesting your data to sell. Do not install!

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18315625, 4 months agoUsed to be good. *Used* to be. Cannot trust it anymore. Sites that I know are scam sites are given As & Bs, while other sites that are reputable are given Ds and Fs. Uninstalled.
