Why it was made?

Skroutz has been using dark patterns to mislead consumers into purchasing sponsored products (advertisements). The purpose of this extension is to make it easier for consumers to identify which products are sponsored and which are not, so they can make informed purchasing decisions. It also gives the consumer the ability to hide the sponsored products if they so wish to.

Where we are now?

reSkroutzed, is a must-have enhancer for website skroutz.gr.

It assists you by making clear what products are ads and giving you the means to remove them.

The price checker makes sure the amount displayed on the product is actually the lowest. For those that "Buy through skroutz" is worth more than buying through a store directly, they can easily select a price difference threshold.

Dark mode is now as easy as clicking one button.

The all new universal selector on the bottom left side of the screen is always there to help you tailor make the experience browsing as you wish!
