Knockoff filters the trademark-squat pseudo-brands (the SZHLUXes and HORUSDYs) out of your search results, so what's left is brands with a reputation to lose.
How do you decide where to draw the line between a knockoff brand and a legitimate new brand that just isn't well known yet?
Does filtering happen locally in the browser, or are my searches/queries sent to a server? Curious about the privacy model.
Tried it on a few searches, the junk does get filtered out. One thing I'm not clear on: how do you tell a squatter from an honest new small brand? Both have no history and no reviews. Showing why a brand got flagged would help.
Ha, the name sells it. Curious how you're matching products — image similarity, or title/description matching?
I installed it the other day and it works as advertised! Amazon is letting too much garbage into their store these days, and Knockoff helps sweep it back out.
@shpigford Knockoff is super cool. Being a parent, we usually shop for a lot of products on amazon and there are so many duplicate brands with fake reviews and fake ratings. Its extremely difficult to identify the true brands.
Just ran a quick search with knockoff and it works super well. Never disabling it. Kudos on the launch.
