Hey, wake up! This app is supposed to help you avoid brands that support the apartheid, yet the first thing it does is to direct you straight to Amazon.com and Wix.com, both of with are in the BOYCOTT LIST. as per your own page: "Amazon announced a $7.2 billion investment in Israel, launching an AWS cloud region to expand its cloud services. This move signifies Amazon's commitment to cloud infrastructure and technological development in the region." "Wix is an Israeli software company with its HQ in Tel Aviv." I really hope this is an honest error. Regardless, it is a very sloppy one.

Unfortunately doesn't work for me, maybe because I live in Australia. Went on several BDS product's websites and Amazon listings such as Sodastream and Puma and the extension couldn't see anything wrong with them, possibly because these were the Australian sites. You may need to extend your code to read things outside of the US?
