User reviews

Users find the BuiltWith Technology Profiler valuable for identifying website technologies and aiding marketing efforts. However, recent reviews highlight significant issues including frequent malfunctions, invasive affiliate link redirections, paywalls limiting free use, and technical problems like missing captchas. Privacy concerns and regional access restrictions also diminish usability, resulting in frustration despite its past effectiveness. Overall, while still appreciated for its core functionality, the extension currently faces criticism for reliability and monetization practices.

Limited or no support for certain regions or email domains, making access difficult.

Redirects to gotosearchnow, then once more before landing you on Yahoo search results. Once I removed it the problem went away. I re added the extension only to post this review to warn others before I remove it again. Lame, it used to work but that was a few years ago and I forgot about it. Devs check your product, I wasted time figuring out where this problem came from, and I am clearly not the only one experiencing this issue as you can see by the reviews.
