Sitejabber for Chrome

The vastness of the internet as a whole can sometimes present itself as a double-edged sword to its navigators. With the convenience behind the multitude of news sources, social media and online services also comes the risk of encountering malignant actors or subpar delivery on their promises, which is where a handy browser add-on known as Sitejabber steps in.

Most reputable companies provide lengthy descriptions of the services offered on their homepages to inform potential customers of what they can expect in return for time or monetary investments. However, since many of these details can sometimes be misleading, a grassroots approach from an unbiased, third-party database of reviews may be worth checking out beforehand.

Once installed and pinned to the browser’s tab bar, the utility’s icon acts as a traffic light for users, changing its color according to the reviews it retrieves, thus warning you before delving deeper into a website’s data-centric sections, such as login pages.

Clicking on its logo summons a pop-up window detailing the overall score given by the community alongside an assessment of several factors ranging from service and shipping to quality and value, which lets potential customers know if uncomfortable garments can be returned once tried on.

Cloud hosting services with a track record of disrespecting users’ privacy can also be easily identified on the fly once the add-on is enabled for search results. Finally, when consulting reviews, it should be noted that the older some accounts of a company’s services are, the more likely it is for their descriptions to be out of date, since smaller businesses can grow in both size and quality over the years.

Trying out new service providers for storing personal data or looking for cheaper alternatives to major online retailers can involve plenty of risks without checking other existing clients’ experiences first. For this purpose, Sitejabber is a good way to not only make more informed decisions, but also contribute to a growing review database powered by and for the community.
