A software developer made a Chrome and Firefox extension called Knockoff that automatically hides, grays out, or filters products from sketchy brands on Amazon, which highlights just how many shady brands are on the platform and how commonly they show up on searches for basic items.

    Yes and no. There are a lot of products that i once had bought at (semi)local stores that no longer exist.

    So it is either Amazon or Temu or any other online shop like that.

      I’m not saying that you can’t find good stuff there. :)

      I personally try to avoid it as much as possible due to them being unethical and they not caring about the environment at all.

      PS. Happy cakeday!
