Junk Filter is a browser extension that makes shopping results easier to scan. It identifies questionable or unfamiliar brands and lets you label, fade, or hide those listings while recognizable brands stay visible.

Yes. Junk Filter is free to install and use, with no subscription required.

No. You can install Junk Filter and start using it without creating an account or sharing an email address.

Junk Filter is available through the Chrome Web Store for Chrome, Brave, Edge, and Opera, and through Mozilla Add-ons for Firefox. The Safari version still needs its own signed release package and is being prepared. Visit the Downloads page for the latest availability.

The extension combines maintained brand lists with explainable signals, such as unclear manufacturer identity and brand-name patterns commonly found in short-lived marketplace listings. A verdict is a screening signal, not an accusation or a final judgment about every product.

No. Junk Filter helps you narrow a crowded results page, but it cannot certify a product, seller, factory, or safety claim. Always check the current listing, seller details, reviews, specifications, and return policy before buying.

You choose. Junk Filter can add a visible label, fade the listing, or hide it from view. You can change the filter strength at any time.

Yes. Your personal choices take priority. You can trust a brand you know or block one you prefer not to see, regardless of the default verdict.

Use your personal trust list to correct the result immediately. You can also challenge the verdict in Brand Check or contact us so it can be reviewed for a future brand-list update.

No. Junk Filter only changes how listings are displayed in your own browser. It does not delete listings, alter Amazon's catalog, or affect what other shoppers see.

Amazon has full support across its international stores. Etsy, Walmart, eBay, OTTO, Kaufland, and bol are available as beta integrations, so some layouts or product categories may still need refinement.

Junk Filter checks for a newer brand list at most once per day. If an update is unavailable, the bundled list keeps working. Community feedback can inform later reviews, but a vote does not instantly replace a published verdict.

The filter switch changes local filtering but does not stop every online request in current versions. To stop all extension requests, disable Junk Filter in your browser’s extension manager. In Chrome, open Extensions → Manage extensions, then turn Junk Filter off or select Remove. In Firefox, open Add-ons and themes → Extensions, then disable or remove Junk Filter.

No. Junk Filter filters marketplace brands. It does not provide coupons, discounts or price-comparison offers.

Core filtering runs locally. Existing extension versions may send product information, URLs and technical identifiers in service requests; our service discards these request bodies without reading or storing them. Public brand-list updates and reports you choose to submit remain available. See Privacy for details.

No. Junk Filter is independently built and is not operated or endorsed by Amazon or the other supported retailers. Explore Brands may contain clearly disclosed Amazon affiliate links, which can earn us a commission without changing the price you pay.

Explore Brands is an editorial guide to brands with documented design or manufacturing roots in the United States, Europe, and Japan. Origin can vary by product line and change over time, so each guide is a researched starting point rather than a blanket guarantee for every item.

Shoppers can confirm or challenge a published classification. Those votes help identify verdicts that deserve another look, but they do not automatically override the maintained brand list. This protects the system from sudden or coordinated vote changes.
