- Rated 4 out of 5by elephystry, 2 months agoI am one of two people I know who have marked literally hundreds of people on my other computer, going through anti-trans or trans-friendly facebook posts' react lists and comment sections. I'm on a different computer and basically none of the markings I made are showing up, which leads me to believe that there is moderation, and they have ignored my contributions. I am disappointed to find this out. I will admit some of them were unfair and made in the heat of the moment but most of them are helpful and should be applied. hopefully I will be able to transfer them over so at least *I* know I've done something good, but even if not it's still a useful tool. I have no idea what the one-star reviews are talking about, I guess I wasn't there. It is crucially important to note that some people who appear trans-friendly on the surface are pretending and are actually not, and that's why they're marked red.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Tenthuzy, 3 months agoFor anyone wondering, the current review bombing of Shinigami Eyes is related to a particularly viscious tumblr discourse that has resulted in harrassment campaigns against a number of trans women. I have used this add-on for about 2 months now and have found it to be fine, with one case of a true false flagging. It's not perfect - I would encourage anyone using this application to quickly investigate the reason for a green or red marking - but it is hardly unusable. Generally, it has been pretty accurate. But remember it only tells you how someone generally posts about trans people and issues online, and nothing more.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Cerebulon, 3 months agoNot always flawless, but currently undergoing a review bombing campaign by people who would rather burn down one of the internet's most useful tools for trans safety than accept that a small portion of trans people were saying intensely transphobic things about trans women, but cushioned in progressive language. Framing this as "anti-transmasc" is lumping all transmasc people in with those specific people and disregarding the many, many transmasc people who are flagged green, and I fully believe most people rallying against this extension have been taken for a ride.
Vital now more than ever. - Rated 4 out of 5by A-nonbinary-furry, 3 months ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Jamie Prism, 4 months agoWhile I find that Shinigami Eyes is helpful at a glance, this extension is prone to misuse. Sometimes, the mods for this addon mark very much trans-friendly spaces as unfriendly due to this extension's users occasionally dog-piling users that they have an axe to grind against. I have also noticed an epidemic of alt-right (and VERY anti-trans creators) be marked as green by mods, and that's quite worrying. The main way I see this getting better would be requiring a comment box for Shinigami Eyes's users to articulate why this user/source is trans-friendly or the opposite. This would allow the mods for this extension to have more data rather than just X number of marks.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18564172, 7 months agoGreat concept, usually works however, filters most hyperlinks based on which site it's from rather then the content of a specific url. Also, I feel like most of the filtering works internationally but doesn't work at a national level like for example in the uk, britain first and reform uk (2 very fascist British political parties) aren't listed as either negative or positive and I noticed the same with most political parties in other countries like with the republican party in the US. Ig I just think this is an amazing extension that just needs a lot more work done on it. Btw these problems might mainly to do with search results cus I use the reddit app and I rarely use tumblr and I never use Twitter or Facebook and I've not tested this extension on YouTube or Wikipedia yet tbh.
As a trans woman I really appreciate the extension tho especially how every bbc article is red. I would've really appreciated this before I attended trans pride then realised that they only gave trans pride one sentence the day after and on an article about a fascist protest with 100x less ppl but that's a little side note, dude stop judging me I have adhd and its 1am. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 18562871, 7 months agoModeration seems inconsistent, you can almost always trust a red flag but I've had issues with what I'd consider false positives for green flags.
- Rated 4 out of 5by MilkToast, 10 months agoVery cool, all my favourite X users now have a red name cosmetic 🔥
- Rated 4 out of 5by Sleppy, a year agoPretty much a must have extension. Just wish I could access context for why something has been flagged as positive or negative.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Azarilh, 2 years agoWorks well on some sites. Doesn't work on Vivaldi's Mastodon.
- Rated 4 out of 5by lord pumpkin, 2 years agothis add on is amazing and i often recommend it.
please let us know if you are working on a fix for the tumblr dashboard only blog problem, we cannot flag TERFs anymore - Rated 4 out of 5by Ingeborg S. Nordén, 3 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Valdinia, 3 years agoFor the most part it has worked great, but recently on some tumblr pages everyone is marked on red, even people I know for a fact are trans or trans friendly. I repeat: this only happens on certain pages, not all, so I'm not at all sure if it's just the page's theme interacting poorly with the extension or what.
I am curious about how the data to mark people is verified, though; so far I've not run across inaccuracies but then most of the time I wouldn't know. I hope there is some verification process even if it sounds like a labour intensive process. - Rated 4 out of 5by kimmie, 4 years agoI installed this to make my twitter reading less irritating, which it has. I just wish there was an option to select which websites you want to be affected. As it stands, it red flags Al-Qaeda and the Nazi Party in Wikipedia articles, which is low-key hilarious, but also completely unnecessary.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Nebulaic, 4 years agoThis is an incredibly useful extension, but I'm not sure how useful the trans-friendly filter really is. It seems pretty easy for people to get flagged green for a cursory gesture of solidarity despite being generally neutral on trans rights at best and connected to known transphobes at worst. I'm not sure I support taking it away entirely because there have been occasions where it did actually clarify some things, but maybe stricter criteria is necessary.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Amber Alex, 4 years agoFlawed but mostly good. I noticed a handful of false positives (something the developer says on their website is to be expected), but overall, so far it has accurately and correctly identified trans-friendly users. Due to my already extensive blocking habits, I've yet to see many red names, but the ones it has marked so far were correct, and mostly people I had already identified as such and blocked.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16961880, 4 years agogenuinely really useful to find out who's worth giving a shit about and who isn't! one feature i'd suggest is an option to automatically block those who are marked red as it'd be cool if i could be able to stop running into them before i've even run into them or whatevs. otherwise a very useful addon!
- Rated 4 out of 5by Jasmine, 4 years agoIs totally awesome, would be nice if only spaces would be flagged green to prevent those flagged red from abusing the point of the app. That's my only complaint, it's good at what it does!

- Rated 4 out of 5by MW, 5 years agoIncredibly useful add-on. I'm having some trouble with it in youtube but works fine everywhere else. Makes it very easy to avoid terfs!

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14801925, 6 years agoits really great but sometimes the coloring of the names has small display issues, on tumblr and wikipedia (and other sites that use wikipedia's format) the names and profile pictures have small borders around them and that looks kinda weird.
also it's really weird that ContraPoints is marked as trans-friendly by default when she frequently dives headfirst into transmedicalist rhetoric, throwing nonbinary people under the bus in the process. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14635792, 6 years agoThe app works well. The only issue I'm encountering is that it blocks my Twitter profile header from appearing above my avatar on the Twitter home page.
Developer response
posted 6 years agoI see. That's a side effect of clearing profile-specific color/style customization, that would otherwise interfere with the ability to distinguish the colored links. Thank you for reporting this issue.
