- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17919065, 2 years agoStarting to get invasive and messing up web pages. So long.
- Rated 3 out of 5by smtips, 2 years agoHow the hell do you remove the badges on evry item in my order history?? I DON'T NEED BADGES ON THINGS I ALREADY BOUGHT.
AND WHY ARE THERE SO MANY BLANK FAKE REVIEWS FOR THIS EXTENSION? BLANK REVIEWS SHOULDN'T EVEN BE ALLOWED.
It would be nice if they didn't lag the browser on the order history page on amazon, it doesn't need to review what's in my history and add a badge smack dab OVER the picture of any item on my orders page. I had to get on the people that make another extension that blocks things on the page, this one does the same nonsense on the order history page. We don't need the grading icon directly over the item photo, or AT ALL on the orders page. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17612449, 2 years agoI 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.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17677122, 2 years agoThis stops you from having to go through loads of "Top 10 Best PRODUCT" blog posts (which are all just more paid advertisements let's be real) to find which of the product I want to buy. I can just go on Amazon and trust that the reviews that are legit based on Fakespot's ratings. Their summary page is very useful.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15033269, 2 years agoThe idea is better than the pracicality as the pop-up notifications are overly intrusive and get in the way. They slow down your ability to make decisions with their attention-seeking nature. Great idea but the implementation obscures your navigation. Give us a traffic light instant, at-a-glance notification without the tome, please.
- Rated 5 out of 5by purrvasive, 2 years agoI really helps and gives me confidence in what I purchase.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Nolffer, 2 years agoVery convenient! This plug-in works without having to go to the Fakespot website.
Sadly Amazon has been overrun by fake reviews. I wonder may is some of people who get paid to make fake Amazon reviews come here to leave negative reviews. - Rated 4 out of 5by Eirikr, 2 years agoPretty good add-on, could you add an option to only have a pop up appear if the seller is questionable or bad?
- Rated 2 out of 5by SagaciousB, 2 years agoI used to like Fakespot a lot. However, more recently it feels like the data is completely off. I can see a well-known reputable brand like Sony that I trust to not be buying fake reviews get a solid F. The reasoning doesn't even seem valid. Then some junky unknown brand/product gets an A rating with what are clearly bad reviews.
Furthermore, the A-F ratings don't actually help me decide if the product itself is good, so I don't actually get actionable information for making a purchase.
I don't know what they're using for training data or feedback for their ML models, but it doesn't appear to be working.Developer response
posted 2 years agoHi SagaciousB,
Thank you for your feedback.
Unfortunately, a majority of eCommerce is now run through third-party sellers who frequently manipulate listings for brands names like Sony.
When customers have a bad experience with a third-party seller it can impact that brands' reviews, even though the brand did nothing wrong. And this is just one issue of many that we help protect consumers from.
If you could, please email us any products you have questions about to contact@fakespot.com so we can take a second look at them and address any other concerns you may have.

Fakespot - Rated 3 out of 5by Rhyso, 2 years agoThe Fakespot sorting function doesn't appear on Amazon UK with Firefox, yet it works with Brave and Chrome. It's a pity since it's a really useful feature.

Fakespot - Rated 1 out of 5by Pixie, 2 years agoThe intent of this is good but ever since I installed it my pages are completely different in font, color design. I have to scroll 10 times just to see what used to be right at the top.

In general, our extension works by placing Fakespot Review Grades, Seller Ratings, and Highlights directly on the marketplaces we support.
If you do not like any feature, we give you complete control over your Fakespot experience in the extension settings.
This way you can only see the information you need to make a better purchase.

Fakespot - Rated 2 out of 5by David , 2 years agoHot take: you shouldn't clog up my browsing with a bunch of crap I didn't ask for without asking me first.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13404024, 2 years agoI like using this add-on for browsers. Occasionally there isn't enough info to rate something but generally I'm happy with it
