  • New: Knockoff now runs on mobile — Firefox for Android, and Safari on iPhone and iPad.
  • New: filter by minimum star rating and review count, so poorly-rated or barely-reviewed listings drop out alongside pseudo-brands.
  • New: when you report a misclassification, you can now name the brand you expected, so corrections land faster.
  • New: pseudo-brands are now filtered on Amazon's "Keep shopping for" recommendation grids, not just the main search results.
  • Improved: Knockoff now reads the brand from Amazon's dedicated byline, not just the product title, for more accurate detection.
  • Improved: certification and compatibility brackets at the start of a title (like "[FCC Certified]") are no longer mistaken for the brand.
  • Improved: allowlisted brands are now recognized even when buried inside category-page titles.
  • Improved: fewer false flags — short vowelless acronyms like CCT and RGB read as unbranded, and accented words like German compounds are no longer misread as pseudo-brands.
  • Improved: expanded the built-in brand lists so more real brands are recognized on sight.
  • Improved: more media titles (books, music, movies) are skipped on all-departments searches.
  • Changed: dimmed listings now stay dimmed when you hover; only an explicit un-hide reveals them.
  • Changed: refreshed app icon and in-app logo with the new red price-tag brand mark.
