- Wurdearring: 3 fan 5troch jo, 3 jierren lynmakes no sense that the same item in a one pack has a B rating in a 2 pack and A rating and in a 3 pack a D rating. How is that?
- Wurdearring: 2 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 12253094, 3 jierren lynReally just agreeing with the most recent 1-star reviews. I wish to ask the Dev: do you realize ... and I'm not suggesting that you're not brilliant, honestly. It's just - I hate to see a once-very-popular add-on going this route.
I wish you'd re-think your decisions which resulted in a far more invasive experience and which have garnered some harsh criticism from formerly happy users. I know that you are not "forcing" anyone to do anything, and that's been your basic response of late... and we know that's true. BUT - if a person wishes to use your add-on you ARE enforcing a level of depth and breadth in.. umm... information gathering abilities.. which a growing number of people are quite concerned about.
Clearly you've many projects underway and this is perhaps just a legacy from a more addOn-friendly Firefox - but, if you care about this particular one - I hope you give it more thought.
Cheers - and - I do get it, really. - Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch GreaseMacaque, 3 jierren lynThis use to be good. Now you HAVE to login for it to work. When attempting to create a login, no verify emails are ever sent, so no login is ever created.

- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch felda9000, 3 jierren lynGathers data for all websites. Completely unnecessary.
- Wurdearring: 2 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 15289944, 3 jierren lynI installed the program before reading the reviews, then found out in the reviews that all my website visited are reported to Fakespot. That gave me a bad feeling, so I removed the program and will use their website link instead when needed.
- Wurdearring: 2 fan 5troch RCAdddiction, 3 jierren lynIt's a positive that Fakespot finally works with Firefox as well as it did in Chrome. I've stopped using Chrome due to privacy issues. I use Chrome only to shop on Amazon to see the Fakespot review and then close it.
However, it's a huge negative that FS pops up and interferes with non-Amazon, non-eBay sites. The plug-in also seems to have far too many permissions, tracking every site to which a user goes. This is a bridge too far. I'm disabling it for the moment, but likely am going to uninstall this overly intrusive tracker. Again, if there's no charge for a product, then you are the product. I'm not going to be FakeSpot's product. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Tom Vanon, 3 jierren lyn
- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Blarrg, 3 jierren lynI don't want an add-on that watches my browsing. Developer responded to several reviews saying that you can still use fakespot on the website menu, but clicking the menu link does nothing.
I get that you aren't doing this out of the goodness of your hearts, and that you need to monetize it somehow, but I'm not in love with the 'harvesting my data' option. - Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch HK, 3 jierren lynI don't appreciate the Firefox add-on being pushed so hard, even if the original analyzer bar is still available (it's certainly not in an obvious spot anymore). I'm not going to install an add-on that wants access to all the webpages I visit. You didn't need that before, so you don't need that now. In response to the developer telling everyone to go read the privacy policy: your privacy policy literally says you track usage in order to serve users adds.
- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch user12312333124, 3 jierren lynforcing the extension down our throats is not cool. you can say that "users can still use the website from the menu bar!" but it's so unintuitive. change it back
- Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 16969317, 3 jierren lynDoes an ok job at detecting fake reviews. Hate being forced to install as an extension and targeting other sites like bestbuy. It was covering an option to apply a coupon for $100 on the bestbuy website.

Thanks for your feedback. We are not forcing anyone to install the extension. Our analyzer bar is and will always be available in our website's menu.
Please send the product on Best Buy you were having issues with so we can take a look into why our extension is covering a coupon. That is not the experience we want any of our customers to have.
Best,

Fakespot - Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 14207336, 3 jierren lynRequiring global permissions for a website-specific extension is beyond egregiously invasive, and signals to me that the creators of the extension harbour some kind of ill intent against my privacy for their own benefit. ReviewMeta, a competing service, has an extension which does not require global permissions.

Thanks for your feedback. We do not harbor any kind of ill intent against your privacy. Instead, we greatly value your privacy and encourage you to read our privacy policy.
We require these permissions because we analyze hundreds of thousands of Shopify web stores. Other popular shopping extensions such as Honey and Rakuten require the same permissions because they also have to work on many websites.
While we cannot comment on Reviewmeta's privacy practices, their service only analyzes Amazon. Fakespot analyzes Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Best Buy, Sephora, and Shopify web stores.
If you have any questions about our privacy policy and practices please email us at contact@fakespot.com.

We will be back on iOS soon. Amazon's accusations of us misleading customers are baseless.

Fakespot - Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Firefox-brûker 13358663, 3 jierren lynI used Fakespot constantly for Amazon for a long time, and have always appreciated that service. And I don't mind developers wanting a revenue stream, however the idea that they want permission to scan every URL I visit, basically tracking my internet activity? Ridiculously intrusive and a deal breaker for me. No way I download this extension.

Fakespot - Wurdearring: 1 fan 5troch Kelue, 3 jierren lynThere is no reason why this addon needs to scan every single site I visit. It should be restricted to only domains I want it to check or domains it has an active database for. Gathering data on every site I visit for no reason with no way for me to disable it is predatory and why I wont trust this service ever again.
