I like the idea and the visual execution is great, but the number of false positives (flagged as made in USA but not actually) is pretty high. I agree with some other reviewers that a built-in user flagging feature would be good. For example a clickbox for "is this accurate?" next to each product's country flag that sends you the data including which country the extension thought it was as well as the company/brand name. Then you can compile the data and make decisions based on our patterns. But I could also see bots becoming an issue, especially from certain companies that want to spoof their country of origin on your app.

idea is admirable, but execution is lacking. from the scant few results that feature a US flag, every single one i dug deeper turned out to be PRC. sometime no digging is even needed as the product name will contain the name of its Chinese manufacturer. HuaQi is very commonly flagged as US. HuaQi is in PRC. there is no built in way to report/flag wrong results. so its largely useless

still works great as of August 25, 2024! but there are some missing blank ones when other extensions shows the country correctly while this one shows blank. but overall still good!
