We are not trying to hide the fact that we're using fakespot review data (or tracktor pricing data for that matter). We are providing the ability to search for products rather than cutting and pasting URLs between browser tabs into multiple different websites. We are trying to provide a more cohesive user experience than we have found elsewhere.

I initially looked into making a browser extension but my reading of the Amazon Product Search API led me to believe it would be a violation of their terms of use. I have seen some similar extensions using their API since then which has made me reconsider.

The check mark means that the price is the lowest in the last 90 days and the reviews are reliable. Good question, I should make that more clear.

The review quality on Amazon has gone down significantly over the last few years, especially in the electronics category. I needed a way to search for products that allowed me to quickly identify real vs fake products. I couldn't find anyone providing this search service so I built it myself. Any and all Feedback would be appreciated.
