(Another) Consumer Rights Wiki Injector by HLS Video Download

Disclaimer: This is NOT the official "Consumer Rights Wiki" plugin (which can be found here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/consumer-rights-wiki/ ). If you find the functionality of my plugin useful, then please make respective feature requests to the official plugin (I'd like nothing more than for my prototype plugin to be redundant/obsolete).

This plugin here is a proof-of-concept experimenting with how the information available in the https://consumerrights.wiki can be made more visible at the point where Web users actually make their purchasing decisions (a functionality sorely lacking in the official plugin): If something is wrong with a product that I am about to buy, then I want to be warned about it before I click the "add to shopping cart" button - I don't want to search for that information but rather be poked into the eye right then and there.

The idea is that product advertisements browsed on well known search and shopping sites (Google, Amazon, etc.) are automatically checked against the "Consumer Rights Wiki" and if a respective product/manufacturer has already been called out for Consumer Rights violations, then the affected product is marked with an added "CAUTION" icon that can be clicked on, to directly access the relevant "Consumer Rights Wiki" information page. The crucial point being that in side-by-side listings of different products, those with a questionable track record stick out like a sore thumb and the warning is hard to overlook.

Usage:

The plugin's functionality must be enabled/disabled via the toggle button in its toolbar icon "left click" dropdown menu. If enabled that menu will show "plugin is enabled", as well as the list of domain name prefixes used to decide which pages are actually handled. (The plugin does NOTHING on pages from other domains.)

Limitations:

The "Consumer Rights Wiki" is a work in progress and the information available may still have room for improvements. The plugin uses a hard-coded set of page references that existed at the time of the plugin's creation and it will not automatically be able to deal with future changes/additions to the respective Wiki structure. The plugin only handles a limited set of merchant sites that are matched via their domain name. Technical changes on those pages will likely impair the plugin's ability to inject links into future versions of those pages.
