User reviews

I just love how the angry cat pops up when I am on a website that we should be boycotting. Makes you more aware (and sometimes shocked) at learning how these companies are helping to find the state that is committing a genocide on the Palestinians. Thank you to the team at Boycat for making this an extension. May we all become more aware and ethical on the companies we visit and use.

Technology done right.

5 stars because this is absolutely brilliant and much needed. Helps us make ethical consumer decisions. We have a lot of power if we all purchase wisely. I don't think it works in South Africa yet though...
