Worst. Nothing visible on their explore page.
Hijacks the urls and links. Constantly when I type url to the address bar uBlock blocks alitools affiliate links. Links are like: "**awin****alitools.io**" Was good when it was.. Just acting like honey now. Removed.
Stops Working As Its Not Showing Images Anymore Instead It Showed Broken Thumbnail
Highly dangerous extension that switch links you click on aliexpress with other products for their personal profit. AVOID AT ALL COST!
Never got any discount via this tool
Annoying
smart phone - AliTools app does not work (Aliexpress)
I am really disappointed this is very ________________ tool in the world
CRYPTO MINER... or this is not optimised for having alot of tabs in vivaldi... This slowed down my browser tremendously until i disabled it (i determined this by looking up the process ID on task manager, then finding what in vivaldi was that process by ID (shift+ESC buttons). Please like so they either optimise it or somebody checks it for being a malicious miner addon...
Regardless of the quality of the application and the benefits that can be obtained from using it, I can't get rid of the annoying message stuck to my screen "This extension is no longer supported. Download the new version of the extension" deleted this extension from Chrome and installed it again and again but the sticker with the message remains on the screen and annoys me a lot! Please help me get rid of this message.
I very much dislike it, because it messes up the "sort by order" option when browsing Aliexpress. Therefore, I cannot filter by most orders.
This thing is very bad.
I can't change language to english :(
Redirects some links (e.g. from Google) to smartredirect.de, an ad tracking company. Avoid this extension.
it installs a tracker to intercept all and every link to the regular aliexpress, to a new partner/referal/etc page. that domain is also blacklisted and marked as spam. don't trust this extension.
Shows scammer sellers as a trustful!
It added random redirect to websites
After installing this add on, I was getting random redirects. Even when clicking on a google search result. After uninstalling this extension, everything went back to normal. VERY SHADY EXTENSTION.
not only that it does not do the job, It also steal affiliate.
Just stopped showing price history :(
does not work on any items on ali express, except for the demo item.
permisions, redirects, cashback etc.
Adds referral links to every page you visit
is this the app that makes ali express ads popups? https://imgur.com/UA5ZqnN
It redirects to an intermediate navigateto.ru when accesing to aliexpress, maybe with a marketing purpose. No option to disable it, and does it in a hidden way.
This extension grabs Cashbacks from not supported Services. Avoid to install it. Lost money. Will report abuse to Google
Some time ago, tabs with ads started in Chrome. I couldn't do anything, antivirus didnt' help, Google cleanup tool didn't work. But then I disabled AliExpress Tools extension to use my cacheback service without interruption and... the ads tabs stopped! So it must have been this extension that had been constantly opening malware pages over and over again. That's so shady.
This extension will steal your cashback, avoid it!!
Requires permissions to access ALL my websites. Not just aliexpress.com, aliexpress.us, etc. I won't use it until the extension manifest is modified to only cover Ali Express domains.
Not impressed I added the extension. I searched "BIG BUTTON MOBILE PHONE", the cheapest was $25. I REMOVED the extension, and did the same search. The cheapest was $5.
not working with multiple listing items within the same product page it just calculates de cheapest option available
Something broke with latest release. I see some logs, like some image tag logged in dev console, and it's is clearing my logs that I need to see.
The application does not work properly for about 1 week. I hope you are aware. I expect it to be fixed as soon as possible.
The page freezes when I click the price graph button (the most helpful functionality). Other menus and buttons work okay.
I manually found a code that this extension didn't find, just by searching Google.
There is a bug where you get AliTools to fill out the coupons in the checkout, but it gets stuck when it finds a working coupon. It won't give you the option to skip and try the rest of the coupon codes. Hope the devs will fix it. Otherwise it's an excellent extension that I've been using for years.
I noticed that this extension showed my browsing history for non-aliexpress sites. I limited its access to aliexpress.com and aliexpress.us. It was no longer able to show price history (maybe with a good reason). It's kind of useless to me now. Uninstalled.
This Chrome extension is helpful, and has a lot potential, but also needs a lot of refinement. Others have mentioned the same things I have. One big thing for price drop tracking. Why choose ONLY 5% drops for notification? Not only are user unable to select a different drop percentage, but they should also be able to entire a custom price drop for notifications (percentage AND flat dollar amount).
It's ok. Get's done what needs to be done. Very useful, but one problem or bug. Trying to see similar products from the bottom left corner button is very useful but I only see first 6 results as it keeps scrolling up when I try to see more. Please fix fast. When that get's fixed it's 100% a 5 star extension.
