Hide, dim, or label
Filtered listings can vanish entirely (with a one-click reveal), fade until hovered, or just wear a warning chip.
Hide sponsored ads
Flip one toggle to strip Amazon's paid “Sponsored” listings out of search, too. Off by default. Your call.
Your lists win
Trust or block any brand from the results page. Your personal lists override every other signal, always.
Three filter levels
Relaxed catches the notorious offenders. Standard adds suspect names and unbranded listings. Strict allows only recognized brands.
Community reporting
One-click misclassification reports feed a curated list that reaches every install within a day, no update required.
Private by design
No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. The only network request is a daily brand-list refresh. Reports are opt-in and anonymous.
Fair source
FSL-1.1-MIT, converting to MIT after two years. No build step, readable in an afternoon. The brand lists are plain text files, so fixing a misclassification is a one-line PR.
