FakeSpot was recently announced to be abruptly discontinued. It uses AI technology to discover, analyze, grade, and warn shoppers of fake/misleading reviews, bot reviews, review manipulation, sponsored products, and price tracking changes, all perpetuated by companies like Amazon, Google, and Walmart. The extension has overlays on webpages that display grades on product quality, based on review quality, and it can even manipulate what users see to hide poor or sponsored products within the active webpage.

There is a market opening here for Brave to add a valuable feature directly into the browser and fill the void created by FakeSpot’s sudden retirement. Brave has continually showed that it cares about the user experiences within their browser.
I would love to see it integrated with so many of the default Brave features, but this would be a feature I would be willing to join Premium for, and I’m sure I’m not alone.
