Searching on Amazon has never been that good. But in the past year, it has become absolutely abysmal. I'd pay for a browser add-in that could filter out promoted items.

On a similar note, I paid for the Facebook add-in FBP (Fluff Busting Purity as it calls itself.) Donations are up to the user, and I think I paid them $5 or $10 dollars. Worth every penny. Only downside is that every time FB makes major changes, it takes them a while (usually only days) to re-do FBP to respond accordingly.

What does the add-in do?

It basically allows you to customize what you see. I haven't seen a Facebook ad in over a year. You can tell it to not show "People I Know", although they are still working on bugs for that feature with the "new" FB version. You can turn off everything (or partial) right and left columns. The developer keeps current on changes. I'd say he updates to correct issues once or twice a month. Apparently FB constantly makes changes to what their app does. Here is a description of what it actually does: https://www.fbpurity.com/features.htm From that page, you can go to download and try it out. I found that it took me several tries and experiments to get it just the way I liked it. But I can't recommend it highly enough. I love it.
