only highlights sponsored products, does not remove them. This defeats the purpose of having this extension in the first place

A few sponsored items remain. Given that nearly all of the sponsored items have been removed, I'll give it 4 stars and a thumbs up.

Fantastic! Works just like I wanted it to. If you want it to remove the sponsors instead of highlight them, just click the extensions puzzle piece at the top right, click the three dots next to the extension name (Amazon Unsponsor), and click options. A pop-up should show up for you to select either "Colorize" (to highlight the sponsors in a dark gray) or "Remove" (to remove the sponsors altogether).
