And now that feature has shipped! I plan to add custom colors at some point but it's definitely low priority.

So the original list is very specifically about no-name dropshippers. I very specifically state in the readme that the list isn't a measure of quality. So in the case where this guy is 3D printing stuff and selling it. That's good enough for the list if he's been doing it long enough. But looking at the details of this one, he's dabbled in crypto. He apparently sold crystal tubes... So like he sorta feels like he might be a state-side dropshipper.

I am sorta leaning towards just adding his brand. The list isn't append only, we can remove stuff if people feel the need.

I actually just put in a buymeacoffee link lol.

But also the List is by far the hardest part. It's way more work/time/misery than the addon itself.

So yeah checking. Apple stopped making Safari for Windows a long time ago. So the issue with me supporting it is I have no way to test before publishing. I'll need to figure out something for that if I want to make the Safari version a real boy.

Mixed inventory is really a different issue. So short version, I don't. However Amazon did announce they were stopping the practice so hopefully that's just solved.

I just checked and it's actually in there, it's part of AVON! :D

Ha, oh yeah USB chargers was a huge pain.

Something I've actually found I do is I just leave the addon in debug mode all the time. It's more verbose about what it's doing but it also highlights instead of hides listing. Which I've found I really like.

So I think I'm actually going to make that into a feature, highlighting vs hiding.

I've considered this. I just feel like I need to be really careful on that front.

Right now I'm dealing with a dude that requested his own brand be added. Which is totally cool. But looking at said brand. I am reeeaaallly struggling to tell if hes 3dprinting his stuff to sell, or if hes drop-shipping it and trying to get on the list.

I'll have to look into that. It should just work since it works on Chrome and I've made effort to request as little privilege as possible. But I'll have to test and try it out.

If you're able and willing, create an issue on the addon repo: https://github.com/chris-mosley/AmazonBrandFilter/issues

And I'll build a version for safari for you to test.

To be honest it just felt like the right way to do it. I also never expected it to ever get any amount of traction. The fact I got more than 10 people to run it is thrilling.

I'm a Firefox user myself. It is cross browser but it started Firefox first.

Yeah my buddy sent it to me. I don't usually visit ycombinator. I just created an account because I'm basking in my small amount of recognition.

But if ya want some proof I'm about to update the filter list with a bunch of mosquito repellents in like 10 minutes :)

AmazonBrandFilter dev here.

Yeah. I don't know. I don't love that they're just ripping the list like that, I wouldn't mind as much if they at least helped contribute to the list. That is far and away the hardest part of this thing.

But it is what it is, I'll be more peeved if they monetize it (which I'm unsure if they're doing).

Maybe I should put one of those buy me a coffee links on the repo, I'd probably be better about focusing on it then.
