Review by John Eyder
Rated 5 out of 5
by John Eyder, 5 years agoExactly what I was looking for! It was working great until recently. Lately I must refresh the page for it to take effect when scrolling to another, page 2 and up.

- Rated 5 out of 5by niwi, a month agoBecause of this addon I am still using Firefox (instead of Safari) and Amazon. Great job.
- Rated 2 out of 5by Marty, 3 months agoUnfortunately, sponsored articles are still advertised in ads, although I set remove in the extension.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18584286, 4 months agoWorks great. Please add "amazon.co.za" though :) ---- Wow!!! you updated it within a hour :o Awesome work
- Rated 3 out of 5by lshrtwll, 7 months agoI LOVE this extension but it goes dark on me for months. I don't know why. It will work for 3 weeks and then not work for a month. I'm not sure what I'm doing to cause this.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14533413, a year agoWorks nicely on amazon.de
You don't want sponsored items to show up first. These are not the best ones, the cheapest ones, but just the ones where the seller paid amazon most for. This is not good for the sellers nor is it good for us buyers, it's only good for amazon.
This add-on hides them nicely. Thanks, Daniel! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13455059, a year agoI was going mad having my search results cluttered up by the same products over and over. This simplified the interface and now I don't feel like I'm being sold to because I am not being so manipulated. Thanks!
- Rated 4 out of 5by treesap, a year agoIt's nice to have a slightly less biased Amazon. Though it's still an evil website that manipulates search results, this makes things a little better, at least!
**Okay, if you guys find that it's "not working", then check U-Block Origin. Not sure when the change happened to cause it, but now my sponsored products are blocked natively by it! I set an exception, because I prefer the highlight behavior provided by this extension. (FWIW, I use "advanced user mode", so I'm not sure whether it happens by default in "basic" mode.)
The domain that results in the block is amazon-adsystem.com. (I think they're inevitably loaded from a2z.com, but blocking the other seems to prevent a2z.com from being called.) Pretty interesting how they're not returned in the original result set. (Not that their original results don't already have a bunch of manipulation going on.) - Rated 4 out of 5by AnnanFay, a year agoSeems to only work on the search results page. Worth remembering that the "Products related to this item" in item pages now contains some (or all?) sponsored links.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Liam, 2 years agoUpdate: It seems that it does not highlight or block products listed under "Highly Rated" and "New Arrivals" which are sponsored, too. By simply hovering over those products, I can see the "picassoredirect" link. Hopefully, it's not too much work and the developer sees that and can update the extension.
Honestly, it's worth 5 stars but I would love to see a blue frame like in the screenshots provided in the addon page or the highlight color in light red. The light grey simply doesn't stand out much. Nonetheless, great and helpful extension. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14587950, 2 years agoFantastic work! Not only it works - the developer implemented a new domain (.com.au) request almost overnight! Champ!
- Rated 5 out of 5by notrelevant, 2 years agoSimple, permissions are just for Amazon websites, and it works.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13677071, 4 years agoVery nice, does exactly what it promises, and works for country-specific localized versions of the amazon website.
I'd like the author to fix one small issue, though: the "colorize" option uses some tagging or markup that gets detected by the EasyList ad-block list (https://easylist.to/), so those items end up being deleted anyway by the ad-blocker. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13378948, 4 years agoDoes exactly what it promises. You have to hit F5 to refresh the page to highlight the sponcered ads. (Go into the Amazon Unsponsor options to choose to fully remove them.) This sounds like a pain, but it only takes a second, and its good to see the ads actually vanish from the page. Saying 'Whizzz.... BANG!' as you do it is optional...
Edit: It also works on Amazon Smile pages. - Rated 3 out of 5by Intrepid, 4 years agoIt works, but you have to refresh the page each time. Also you have to go into settings to have the sponsored ads removed, by default they are still there but highlighted instead.
