Show HN: I made an extension that uses AI to help avoid BS brands on Amazon

I built a browser extension to solve a common frustration I have when shopping on Amazon. It's tough to distinguish reputable brands from the countless "alphabet soup" names that flood the search results. While there’s definitely a place for those lesser-known brands (I’ve bought plenty myself), sometimes I just want to find a brand recognized for quality.

While the extension delivers on its core purpose, what has been most surprising to me has been the fact that I've discovered dozens of new (lesser known) brands which make high quality products. Welcome any feedback!

Wow! This works so great! I've just tried it, loved that it also suggests better brands to look at. It would be great if you could do the same for amazon.co.uk - it's basically the same amazon but we use it in the UK. This looks awesome, maybe you should try posting it on Product Hunt or some reddit threads? It's great it's free so people will be eager to try it.

Thanks for the feedback! And yes, I'll include Amazon UK support in the next release. I also plan on expanding the "suggested brands" to the search page. Yes, I definitely need to do more research on getting visibility to the extension.
