    I use Fakespot all the time and don't know what to do without it. :(
    I see options for Chrome but I use Mozilla Firefox. (Sorry if that doesn't make any sense.)
    PLEASE HELP!

    Oh my gosh, I don't know how I missed your reply. I didn't know I could have Fakespot for Firefox. THANK YOU!
    THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! XXOO!

    Darn! I tried to download it, it says it's done, but it doesn't show up in my downloads! Is that because I have the current version working now and should download this new one on July 1? My current version shows up in Extensions.

    From Firefox:

    "** Important Update: Fakespot will shut down on July 1, 2025. **

    On July 1, you will no longer be able to use Fakespot. Thanks for supporting our journey."
    ​

    It looks like everyone who's used it, including myself, is SOL.

    :eek: NOOOOOOO! And I checked ReviewMeta and it has awful reviews. :(

    We built FakeFind as an alternative to Fakespot after it shut down. It uses AI to scan product reviews on Amazon, Walmart, eBay, and more — checking for suspicious patterns, repetition, and fake review activity. No extension needed, just paste a link.

    I got an email that says it's an answer to this thread, but it's not here. This makes me suspicious; is it legit or something unsavory? It's from HiArthurdotcom and it says:

    Try HiArthur - instead of only checking if reviews are fake, it analyzes the product itself.

    It looks at images, materials, design decisions, and real usage patterns to surface red flags and likely disappointments.

    Paste a link or search products we’ve already analyzed.

    An update on FakeFind, since it came up earlier in this thread. I’m Andrew Kane, and I built it.

    FakeFind is a free fake review checker for Amazon. Paste a product link and it shows a Trust Score from 1 to 10 for how much you can trust the reviews, plus the FakeFind Rating, which is Amazon’s star rating with the suspicious reviews discounted. It also lists what reviewers praise and complain about.

    It’s free, needs no account and runs in the browser, so there’s nothing to install. Check it out here if your interested in a working Fakespot alternative: https://fakefind.ai

    OMG, I just used it and it's MARVELOUS! I'm so glad you posted this! There was something on the page explaining it that mentioned a small monthly charge ($4.99). Is that current now?
    I'M SO IMPRESSED! I hope you are able to publicize this everywhere!

    Oop, just read that the small charge ($19.99/yr?) is for much more in-depth analysis. And it actually looks as if it could be worth it.
