This New Browser Extension Blocks All Those Junky, Fake Brands on Amazon

If you're an Amazon shopper, you've likely noticed fake brands flooding the website in recent years. A new extension made by developer Josh Pigford promises to hide the phony, cheaply made products and lets you shop like a normal person again.

The extension, called Knockoff, is available for Firefox, Chrome and all Chromium-based web browsers such as Microsoft Edge, Opera and Brave. Since Pigford launched the extension on Tuesday, it's gone viral, with tens of thousands of downloads. A few days before this week's launch, Pigford posted on X, "Built a little chrome extension that lets you dim (or hide!) all the crap, mass-produced, fake brands on Amazon." The post garnered 22,000 likes.

Knockoff is now live!
