Great plugin! I've used it to find helpful conversations about specific gear I'm interested in. It helped me quickly get to opinions and advice buried in forum threads that I found helpful to my decision-making process and wallet.

Like a trusted and knowledgeable shopping advisor, not a salesperson! Primary makes research for specialty products easy and stress free. Looking forward to more integration and product coverage!

@xiaonanzhao Hello!!! Your comment really brought me back to the beginning and our first product launch together. :D Would love to hear what integrations you'd find useful (and/or any types of products you'd love to see comments for).

Nice! I looked up those minimalist Dyson vacuum cleaners, and a post in Primary's view reminded me that I could just eliminate the chore by getting a Roomba instead. Thanks for making me smarter, internets + Primary!

@kalinear Glad we could make your decision easy! Some of the best forum discussions I've read are people asking, "Should I get X or Y given my situation?", and the community chimes in with all sorts of relevant advice.

Great product. Too many browser extensions (or even one) can degrade the user experience but Primary is one that is worth having to get much more in-depth information and specific product feature knowledge to make better purchasing decisions. Relying on Amazon (or other e-commerce site) reviews no longer help given the sheer size. No matter the rating, you'll find many reviews that love and hate the products and everything in between rendering it pretty much useless in actually making a purchase decision. Primary takes you to much more informed discussions where users can actually give you detailed input on the trade-offs made on each product which is much more useful than "works great for me, fast delivery!". Can't wait to see the product evolve over time to surface the most relevant forums making it even faster and streamlining the daunting task of making expensive purchases over the internet.

@sjchoi I'm honored to be part of your browser! I also like to keep very few extensions. And I'm so excited to bring some of the real, detailed trade-offs to the surface. I hear you on "make it faster"! And I'm super interested to know when it doesn't work well (forums aren't relevant) – we're always trying to improve our quality across a variety of interests.

Provides helpful reviews and input at a glance, without being too intrusive. I appreciate that the information is unbiased, and lets the user decide how to use the data rather than pre-filtering the information according to some opaque algorithm. It's nice being able to have the reviews at my fingertips without having to scour the web myself.

@jey_2021 Thanks for the comment! We're always trying to walk the line of being helpful (but not intrusive), and simple-to-use (but not relying on an opaque algorithm thinking we know better). Feedback always welcome on this front!

love the "shop without being sold to" concept -- it feels like all of the best recommendation sites end up being acquired and then you can't trust that you aren't being "sold to" anymore.

@joninnyc I am consistently surprised (and also really not surprised) to find out how many reviews are ads in disguise. Thanks for the comment!

Really appreciate this extension that collects all this relevant data for me rather than me having to do it myself! Allows a wealth of real reviews and information to come into my decision-making process!! Thank you!!

@rl2482 Thanks for the feedback!

When I am shopping on Amazon, I love how Primary helps me find other product info and reviews across the web.

Really awesome to have a tool to help users understand a product! Now, the most enthusiastic experts on a product, those posting on forums, can help you navigate the online maze to get the best product choices for you
