What's new

What changed in each ClearCart release. Short version: it keeps getting better at hiding junk, and it still collects nothing.

1.12.0 — September 2026

Pro is on for your first 14 days. No email, no card, nothing to click. Every install, including existing ones, gets the full Pro controls for two weeks. When it ends, the popup shows what Pro did for you and you decide.
Founding-member price. Until December 31, Pro is available for $29 once, for life, alongside the usual $13 a year.
Sponsored listings hidden by default while Pro is on. You can switch it off in the popup.
Much stricter by default. The free filter now catches the junk that used to slip through on page one: listings with no brand name at all, "list prices" inflated far above the real price, sponsored listings with almost no reviews, and copy-pasted template titles. On the searches we tested it hides about four times as many junk listings as before.
Fewer real brands caught by mistake. Brands with thousands of reviews, or an Amazon badge like Best Seller or Overall Pick, now get credit for it even when they are not on the built-in list. Several established brands were added to that list, and a few look-alike entries that let junk through were removed.
Every hidden listing keeps a visible bar, and the bar says why. "Hidden: no brand name", "Hidden: inflated list price" and so on, one click to reveal. The number on the toolbar icon now always matches the bars on the page.
You can see it working. The popup now says how many listings it checked, not just how many it hid. Listings that scored just under the hide line get a small "borderline" tag instead of passing silently.
Suggest a brand. Every hidden listing has a "Not junk? Tell us" link, and the popup links to a new suggestion page where you can nominate any brand for the trusted list or the block list. Suggestions are reviewed by hand and shipped in a future update.
Pro strictness presets mean more. Lenient, Balanced and Strict now differ in which signals they use, not just by a number. Lenient is the "only the obvious stuff" setting.

1.10.1 — September 2026

More accurate "inflated list price" warnings. On some Amazon product pages the warning could pick up a colour or size option's crossed-out price instead of the product's own list price. It now only looks at the product's real list price.
Fewer junk listings slipping through on a technicality. A handful of ordinary words ("Office", "Elite", "Chef"…) had crept into the established-brands list, so a junk listing whose title happened to start with one was treated as a known brand. Cleaned up.
Real brands on Amazon UK, Australia and Canada are recognised properly. Several were listed in a form that never actually matched.
Product pages recognise multi-word brand names the same way search results do, so trusted brands no longer get a trust warning on their own product page.

1.10.0 — August 2026

Fewer real brands hidden outside the US. ClearCart works on Amazon in India, the UK, Australia and Canada, but its list of established brands was almost entirely American — so genuine local brands could get treated as unknown. Added over 1,100 brands across those four countries.
Sponsored duplicates no longer look like copycats. When Amazon showed the same product twice on one page — once as an ad, once as a normal result — ClearCart could count it as two near-identical listings and hide both. It now recognises them as one product.
"Near-identical listing" is stricter. That label is meant for one product relisted under lots of made-up brand names. A single brand's own pack sizes and colour options no longer trigger it.

1.9.9 — August 2026

Sharper default filtering. The default strictness now catches more of the borderline junk that used to slip through onto the first page of results.
Price history on product pages (Pro): a "Price history" button shows every price you've personally seen for that product — built only from your own visits, stored only on your device.
Light & dark mode. The popup follows your system theme automatically; a small button in its header lets you force either.
A proper welcome. New installs open a short getting-started page — including why a page with "0 filtered" usually means your results were already clean.
Now on Microsoft Edge. ClearCart is available in the Edge Add-ons store, joining Chrome and Firefox — and "Rate ClearCart" now opens the store you installed from.
Explanations on every Pro custom-strictness setting (hover the "?"), and fixes for recent Amazon and Walmart page-layout changes.

1.9.3 — August 2026

ClearCart comes to Firefox — same extension, same zero-data promise.
Fixes for payment handling on Firefox and for review links opening the wrong store.

1.9.0 – 1.9.2 — July 2026

Pro free trial extended to 7 days (email only, no card).
A one-time, polite request to rate ClearCart — only after it has actually hidden junk for you, and never again once you answer.
An uninstall page that asks what went wrong (email only, nothing tracked).

1.7 – 1.8 — July 2026

Walmart support. The same junk filter now works on walmart.com search and product pages — including Walmart-specific house brands like Great Value and onn.
Pro moved to a $13/year subscription with a free trial. Earlier lifetime buyers keep lifetime access, and earlier subscribers keep their old price.
Health diagnostics for both sites in the popup, so you can always see that filtering is working.

1.3 – 1.6 — July 2026

More marketplaces: amazon.ca, amazon.co.uk, amazon.com.au, and amazon.in joined amazon.com.
Clone collapse: the same item relisted under many fake brands folds into one placeholder ("near-identical listing ×6").
Detection of shared review pools and too-perfect ratings; Pro best-value badges, quick blocklist, local price tracking, and trust flags for inflated discounts.

1.0 – 1.2 — July 2026

Initial release: on-device junk filtering for Amazon search with click-to-reveal placeholders, a 3,000+ brand allowlist, and zero data collection.
"Compare price" button on product pages — one click opens a Google Shopping search.
