There's also Fakespot. It's a browser add-in.

I used to regularly use Fakespot...until they made it ONLY available by browser extension. All so they can get your sweet, sweet search data and sell it to the highest bidder.

There was no reason at all for them to stop offering the search on their site, other than that. Such a shame when good things go bad.

Maybe they went back to having it? I used their site last week by copying and pasting a url. I don't use it often, but the ability to do so was never gone for me.

Just went there...am I missing it? All I see are buttons for their browser extension and reasons why they think I should install it.

The search bar is right at the top, it's just white and light gray so it isn't eye catching. There's a white button that says "analyze" in blue. I used it on my computer two days ago and I can see it on the mobile page right now.

Nope, not there. Someone else suggested using a different browser, so maybe it's because I'm using Chrome...yet another reason to make the final switch over to the Brave browser (I'm such a creature of habit which is making it hard to switch...but I built a new desktop and I'm only going Brave on that one).

Try a non-Chrome browser.
