User reviews

This extension doesn't work. The website hasn't worked since the beginning of July and that kind of sucks.

I installed it because I wanted to spend money at a company that supports the Republican Party. I want to avoid far-left and liberal companies, global warming scam sponsors, and radical feminist companies ,as much as possible. I also disagree with ethical consumption. But It dosen't work.

Love the idea, but the extension doesn't do anything. It's still just grey no matter which sites I visit, including ones I know the site has made determinations on.
