Browsing activity
Website content"개발자 답글
3시간 전에 게시됨Fair. 0.8.0 suggests US-based alternatives to a product, so it sends the products you open (ASIN, title, brand, seller). A second feature sends seller IDs to show where a seller is based.
Both are on by default, both switch off in options, and filtering works without either. Stored is a per-product view counter: no IP, no account, no searches.
Unfortunately, Firefox only offers fixed permission labels, and none are narrower than that. - 5점 만점에 4점Firefox 사용자 20036283 님, 하루 전Be very careful. This extension seemed like a great idea and I started happily using it in large part
the developer stated that "Everything runs locally in your browser. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. The only network request is a daily brand-list refresh." However, in the last update the extension now requires a new permission to "collect website content." No information about the purpose of the data collection or the specific data being collected is provided.
Mozilla does provides a link to “Learn More” about the new permission being granted. Their definition of the term ‘website content’ takes a bit of work to find but it seems to be “covers anything visible on a website — such as text, images, videos, and links — and anything embedded, such as cookies, audio, page headers, and request and response information.”
This may or may not be okay. I’m not sure but I am certainly not taking the update until the developer provides more clarity on the purpose of this new permission and what data the extension can and can not collect (e.g., my user name and password, email address, etc.). In any case, the fact that an update was issued with this new permission required with no explanation is very problematic
Update: the developer's response seems quite reasonable so I changed the star rating from one star to four stars. But I'd still prefer an extension that did not collect any website content or browsing activity information because with the way it is now, there still appears to be the possibility of abuse.개발자 답글
3시간 전에 게시됨Sorry about the lack of clarity! Firefox doesn't really provide a great way to surface "why" around a change in permissions (at least not one that doesn't require you to go digging through buried extension changelogs). At any rate.
You're right. That quote is mine, from the 0.1.0 notes. It was true then, but it isn't now, and shipping the change without telling you is my mistake.
0.7.0 and 0.8.0 added two features, both on by default, both switchable off in options:
1. "Seller country" sends seller IDs to show where a seller is based.
2. "Help pick US alternatives" sends the ASIN, title, brand, and seller ID of product pages you open.
To your question: no, it cannot see your username, password, or email. It reads a few specific product elements and sends only those fields. Never form inputs, cookies, searches, or orders. Server-side it's one row per product with a view counter. No IP, session, or account stored beside it.
The labels are Firefox's fixed vocabulary. There's no bucket for "just the product page you're on," so I declared the honest maximum rather than under-declare. Mozilla's definition describes the category ceiling, not what Knockoff does.
Working on updating our Firefox listing now to clarify this.
Thanks for the feedback! - 5점 만점에 1점Firefox 사용자 20035832 님, 2일 전

God bless the developers.
I cannot use Amazon without using this. - 5점 만점에 5점Firefox 사용자 14665809 님, 4일 전Works as described. I was looking for an OEM item in Amazon the other day. The results even with a brand name were so full of knockoffs that I thought they didn't carry what I was looking for. Surprise, they do sell it and only because I used the plugin was I able to find what I was looking for. Thanks!

6일 전에 게시됨To be clear, it has a heavy "community note" feature that improves the filtering constantly for everyone. If you see a false positive, just report it and it'll be manually reviewed.- I like the idea but...
For amazon.de many reputable (german) brands are marked orange or red whereas scammy brands are "not recognized".
In my test the false positive rate was >50% and the false negative rate >80%.
With this results the addon maybe great but the data is pretty useless (for amazon.de) - 5점 만점에 5점Sean Moser 님, 7일 전
