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...

Unfortunately doesn't work for me, maybe because I live in Australia. Went on several BDS product's websites and Amazon listings such as Sodastream and Puma and the extension couldn't see anything wrong with them, possibly because these were the Australian sites. You may need to extend your code to read things outside of the US?

I love this concept and think it's awesome, especially if you shop on Amazon a lot but still want to boycott. However, I wish it worked on other websites besides Amazon.
