Sad to see Mozilla shutting down Fakespot... I have been using their extension for years to shop on Amazon and will miss the service. Would love to hear about alternates that people use and recommend.

Fakespot shuts down on July 1, 2025

You will no longer be able to use the Fakespot extensions, mobile apps, or website from July 1, 2025.

The Fakespot feature within Firefox known as Review Checker will shut down on June 10, 2025.

Focusing on what powers better browsing

We acquired Fakespot in 2023 to help people navigate unreliable product reviews using AI and privacy-first tech. While the idea resonated, it didn't fit a model we could sustain.

It was arguably better than nothing, which is what we will be left with. RIP ReviewMeta also. Either these services just aren't paying for themselves, or there are dark forces at work. I suspect the former, but would not be surprised by the latter.
