## What it is
A browser extension that filters pseudo-brand junk out of Amazon search results by detecting trademark-squat brand names and hiding, dimming, or labeling those listings. It runs entirely locally with bundled brand lists, making zero network calls.

## Use cases
- hide knockoff brands from Amazon search results
- filter trademark-squatting junk listings on Amazon
- shop only from real established brands on Amazon
- block unknown no-name brands when shopping online
- clean up Amazon search results of pseudo-brands

## When to choose
- you shop on Amazon and want fake-brand listings hidden automatically
- you want a fully local extension with no tracking or network requests
- you use Chrome, Firefox, or Safari and want marketplace-wide Amazon coverage

## When to avoid
- you need brand protection or takedown services for your own store (that is a separate commercial product)
- you want an auto-updating extension built from this repo, since the public snapshot is frozen
- you shop on marketplaces other than Amazon
