About Knockoff

Knockoff is a browser extension available for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari that filters trademark-squat pseudo-brand products from Amazon search results. The public GitHub repository is a frozen snapshot with no further updates, as active development has moved to a private repository. This version runs entirely locally with no server network requests, using bundled brand lists and name heuristics to identify and flag suspicious listings. Users can adjust filter strictness and choose to hide, dim, or label filtered items, with custom allowlist and blocklist options available.
