Overview of Progressive Shopper

Progressive Shopper is a Chrome extension designed to help consumers make informed shopping choices based on political contributions. It displays a colored ribbon on websites, indicating the political leanings of the companies you shop at: green for Democratic supporters, yellow for bipartisan contributions, and red for Republican backers.

By clicking on the ribbon, users can access detailed information about the brand's political donations and find out which competitors align more closely with their values. Take control of your shopping and support companies that reflect your political beliefs. We prioritize your privacy, ensuring that we do not collect any personally identifiable information.

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.
