- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19901599, a day agoAmazon is being really stupid, every search I did that stupid panel would move everything aside so I have to wait for that to load. Thank you for making this!
- Would give actual money for this extension if this were a general purpose AI helper blocker on all pages. So many sites now have intrusive chatbots covering key parts of the website. Do they not do actual user testing anymore? This used to be a key metric in website performance back in the the day and would have failed every single test. Was gearing up to write my own extension just for this.
- Rated 5 out of 5by TheFoodMan52, 2 days agoHoly hell, this should be included by DEFAULT. Removes the stupid AI slop prompt that CONSTANTLY INTERRUPTS YOU on the website, permanently without issues. Will never install Firefox onto another machine without this plugin now.
- Rated 5 out of 5by the patchwerks, 4 days agoWorks perfectly and without a fuss. I've added this to my list of absolute essential browser extensions on all of my personal systems and my client's builds, right up there with Sort Tabs Advanced and the venerated uBlock Origin. Thank you ビルド, for fighting the good fight.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Plasmastorm, 7 days agoIt works perfectly. No more Alexa/Rufus. The dog died so they decided to call the AI Rufus, now that's dead too!

- Rated 5 out of 5by trulyvampy, 8 days agoLiterally made an account just to leave a review for this extension because I am so sincerely thankful to the dev for making this. That Alexa AI was making me insane!!! Why on earth would someone think, "oh let's implement a feature on our website that literally interrupts the process of online shopping with an annoying, intrusive popup that can never be shut off!" Seriously makes me wonder if Amazon HQ is just ran by the stupid AI at this point since I cannot fathom how a real person who has ever felt love or hope could even think up something so asinine.
Anyway, thank you SO much for making this extension. I know complaining about the stupid AI popup while I'm browsing Amazon is the epitome of "first world problems," but you have saved me a lot of annoyance by making this, lol. Your work is very, very appreciated! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13131053, 14 days agoAlexa for shopping on the Amazon website is gone! Just the extension the world needs.

- Rated 5 out of 5by CROMORIGIN, 3 months agoThank you for undermining their incessant desire to use AI to infest every computer system with their "idea" of an ideal online marketplace. Rufus and all the space it wasted on the screen is affront to the senses, and an insult to those with feverish levels of intelligence. I hope this cold, insufferable push to remove what little agency we have left when making our own decisions burns down their market-share to ash.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Whatzet2U, 3 months agoWorks great on Firefox for Android! Wish they'd add official support for it so updates would apply automatically. Rufus is so annoying!
- Rated 5 out of 5by User4114, 3 months agoEarly days but working great so far. Can't believe a shop would make it worse and harder to actually buy stuff but there you go.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Nolffer, 4 months agoIt works. Thanks for helping to remove annoying AI elements from my browser.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18484444, 4 months agoIt just works. Also I like the cute fox pictures disparaging rufus.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Mavi, 5 months agoAI "assistants" are the most irritating part of software today. I installed this and Amazon returned to normal. 5/5 stars, Thank you!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19633332, 6 months agoIt removes Rufus and then blanks out the whole page. Looks like it will be good when it works as Rufus is annoying. I'm using a MacBook Air with Firefox. I do use containers with Firefox.
Did the steps and now working good. I do quite a few things to limit access to what Amazon can see, so not surprised there were some initial issues. Developer responded really fast! I'll update if anything changes, but this is an awesome idea for an extension as Amazon refuses to accept that not everyone wants Rufus continually popping up. Amazon even told me if I don't like it to use an extension to block it.Developer response
posted 6 months agoPlease try clearing your cache and restarting your browser first. If that doesn't resolve it, email me at b@birudo.studio and I'll help you troubleshoot directly. The add-on works reliably for most users, though browser configurations and internet connections can occasionally affect performance.
Update: Glad it ended up working for you! This is still a new extension, so despite extensive testing on my setup, I've encountered a few folks who got the same "white page" issue. Been able to address all of these edge cases so far and will continue working through them as they come up. Also, hilarious that Amazon CS told you to use an extension to block Rufus 😂 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 19744276, 6 months ago
