- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18315625, 2 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.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13903468, 4 months agoUsed to be helpful, now is completely useless. AI bots have broken this tool.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17863908, 4 months agoContradictory and bad info. Sellers I've used for years (and are good) ranked D but super sketch sellers get an A with 3 reviews and only being open for a few months.
The real killer is it runs on websites it has no business on. Like it runs on everything rather than looking for qualifying commerce sites. It just injects itself into everything breaking local web services like router and networking panels, snooping on banking or anything else you do...Mozilla somehow manages to push the boundaries of bad decisions when they were supposed to be the good/safe/privacy respecting alternative...yet here they are feeding all our habits to another LLM/ML/Ai...
I installed this on 2 different systems. The first I was never shown the forced opt in privacy panel. It wasn't until the second install that I was presented with that...So the install process can / does / is broken in a way you can give up your right to privacy without knowing what it's doing. Despite that if you do opt in (the only way to use it) and start to dig a bit you can see it's broken, intrusive and should not be trusted.
As a side note when uninstalling I noticed conveniently you can't report it for abuse...funny... - Rated 1 out of 5by Dysiode, 4 months agoRemoves Sponsored listings in the search results but adds it's own ads in the item pages themselves.
- Rated 1 out of 5by expertmax, 4 months agoPrivacy 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)))
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14513658, 5 months agoThis 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.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Nyaa, 5 months agoMore 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.
Redundant. - Rated 1 out of 5by Marc Who, 5 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Kelemvor, 6 months agoFakespot 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. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16508656, 6 months agoRubbish.
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. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 16146343, 6 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by VillaVivace, 6 months ago"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. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 15734875, 6 months agoIronic 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.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18157998, 6 months agothat privacy policy might as well read "you have no right to privacy"
- Rated 1 out of 5by GrumpyPapa, 6 months agoWhen 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(?)
- Rated 1 out of 5by Filipi, 6 months agoDespite 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. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 18120493, 6 months ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by jrmcmaster, 7 months agoIt 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.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Sikly, 7 months agoThis 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.
