    The 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.

    I really helps and gives me confidence in what I purchase.

    Very 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.

    Pretty good add-on, could you add an option to only have a pop up appear if the seller is questionable or bad?

    I 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.

    Hi 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.

    Best,
    Fakespot

    The 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.

    The 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.

    Hot take: you shouldn't clog up my browsing with a bunch of crap I didn't ask for without asking me first.

    I like using this add-on for browsers. Occasionally there isn't enough info to rate something but generally I'm happy with it

    Worked fine until Firefox updated to 107.01. Now it doesn't display any info. It says "guard is loading" then disappears.
