troch Yoksven, 3 moannen lynI'll give it 5 stars, because I think it's a neat idea, a good use for the wiki and a solid implementation, but there are some improvements that can be made. Most importantly: information is sometimes incomplete. For example, I went on Pinterest and it gave me the anti-consumer card, but there was just a general description of the company and nothing else, so it made an impression that Pinterest isn't doing anything shady, but in fact, if you go on the consumer rights wiki page for Pinterest there are multiple incidents, which aren't present in the card I got. Second, some color coding would go a long way to draw attention to things that are really bad and you should really know about, instead of just having them all in a list that a person may or may not read through. Maybe the background color for individual incidents should be different from each other, drawing attention to the really bad ones, or maybe the whole card should be a different color if a company is doing a lot of anti consumer stuff. I also think the general description of a company is unnecessary and takes up way too much space in the card. I think it should be collapsed by default and if someone happened to not know what this or that company is, they can expand it.
Edit: As I'm using it more, there are more things that are questionable about the implementation. First, it seem to just look through the text on the page and match words, because I got "Shell", the company, on pages that have nothing to do with it. And there are more examples where that came from. That's not good. Second, on some sites (for example Steam), it just blasts me with 10-15 cards, a lot of which aren't directly relevant to the page I'm on, but I guess it caught something in some text, and then I need to go through these 15 cards one by one, and I know that "hide for this site" option is there, but I think it's just not a good idea to have 10 cards in a row in any scenario, because even I, a consumer rights conscious person, start glazing over it after 3 or 4, and just skipping. That's not what you want to train people to do. Ideally there should be just one, the most relevant one, at most 2 cards, but after that it starts to feel less and less like I'm being helped to stay informed and more and more like a test of patience.

- Wurdearring: 3 fan 5troch R315r4z0r, ien moanne lynSo I've been using this extension since Louis uploaded his video on it and this is my honest opinion:
In its current state, it's counter productive.
I find myself more annoyed that it pops up rather than find value in the information it provides. This isn't due to lack of interest but due to the inefficient method of communication the extension employs. It's just too hard to read at a glance.
It ends up being a bit of a "boy who cried wolf" situation where the thing pops up whenever I visit a new site, that it ceases to be a sufficient warning anymore and I just close it out of habit.
I think the popup can be vastly improved by streamlining the info that is displayed. For instance, why is there so much space wasted on explaining what the website is? I know what the website is, I'm literally on it. You don't need to give me a description of the website. ESPECIALLY since the entire description box for the website is larger, highlighted and takes up more space than the anti-consumer information the extension is intended to communicate!
-The popup should have the name of the website with a button under it to expand to show the description that would be collapsed by default.
-The "Related Incidents" title should have a counter next to it indicating the number of incidents contained within the list.
-The items in the list itself should have a larger, more readable font. Each incident should also have more information visible without any additional action required by the user. Maybe it expands when the user mouses over it or something.
-You should increase the upper limit to the number of incidents on the main popup before prompting the user if they want to see more. In fact, I'd even say that any incident that is "Active" should be visible by default.
-Finally, rather than just saying "Active" you should also show the most relevant date as to when the incident took place.
People don't like clicking things. They especially don't like clicking things that take them to another website. So the more RELEVANT information you can provide before it becomes too much clutter and hard to read, the better. - Wurdearring: 5 fan 5troch Ajay Tripathi, ien moanne lyn
