The privacy policy is... concerning. From what I understand the neural network runs on my machine. Why is *anything* sent to you or third-parties. Also why is the code not open-source? What happened to you Mozilla?

I can't really shop on Amazon anymore without this. I've always suspected there are fake reviews and I've even been sent notes with my Amazon orders myself promising something like an Amazon gift card for a 5 star review, which I would never do because I have standards for myself.

Anyway, I like that this is outside of the page itself since that makes it very easy to see, though, I would like it more if it wasn't so permanently intrusive on the page, but maybe a small button somewhere just showing a quick rating with the ability to click on it for more information?

Overall, it's still a 5 star add-on to me. Extremely useful! Thank you Mozilla Team! 🙂

This 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.

I enjoy getting a second opinion on items offered by Amazon and Best Buy.

It's ok

So Mozilla is an ad + ai company now...

Its 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.

Obligada hoy en día. Funciona de maravilla y está respaldada por Mozilla

I'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.

I 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.

Hilarious

As another reviewer wrote - malware

Useful tool but they've slowly changed it to spy on everything you do online. Do not install
