Untrustworthy. Highjacker. Malicious pop-ups. Should be removed.

Randomly hijacks a page with a donation modal.

Silently injects some coupon related script to every page you visited. Stay away from this extension.
Leonardo Beal
really not acceptable for a json parses extension to inject donation pop-ups in checkout pages. used for many years, until today.
Milos Levacic
What a terrible decision to inject tracking code into a JSON formatter extension. Uninstalling, as I now consider this extension to be malware.
Gary Meehan
Disappointing to see this was injecting overlays at checkouts for me. Lost all trust. Even if intention may be good, no opt in was not cool. Open Source is hard but this move lost all trust. I suggest finding another plugin.
Arnold Rodriguez
Use another extension. https://x.com/wesbos/status/2039355472830939319

Started injecting geolocation tracking and donation UI into websites. Avoid at all costs. This one is better: JSON Alexander.

Injects geolocation tracking and hijacks affiliate IDs.

This should be reported. It is adding mawalre/adware from give-freely creating popups. I have reported it to google. This is a scam.
Aliaksandr
SPAM WITH ADS, IMMEDIATELTY REMOVED.
Mike Weiss
I had to remove due to the inclusion of this give freely thing. I can't have this on my work laptop.

ANNOOOYIIING ADS EVEN THOUGH DISABLED! THEY SPY ON ME: You’re seeing this message because at some point you installed the JSON Formatter browser extension. JSON Formatter has partnered with Give Freely to bring you a free charitable donation benefit when you shop online at a partner store. This is not malware/spyware/adware; your personal information and browsing behavior is not being collected or shared/sold. As explained in the chrome store description for JSON Formatter, this popup is simply a free offer to help whichever charity you select. And you can easily opt out at any time.
Sebastian Waschnick
Was good, until IT FORCED AN OVERLAY for givefreely.com which was not closable. Spamware and ads, just wanted a JSON Formatter.
Mikhail Vazhnov
Contains some code that send requests to givefreely.com , I used it for long time but going to delete, because I expected just JSON formatter. Now I can generate similar extension using AI without strange integrations.
Elvin Feng
Hijacking with ads
Артём Абрамов
This extension shows a shady donation banner on your checkout. Do not recommend. Looks like some kind of dark UI patterns
Lucien Bos
Malware injection.
John DU HART
Injects advertisements now, author is completely shameless.
Andrew Benton
This has started injecting charity donation info on checkout pages. That's absolutely unacceptable for something that's just meant to do json formatting.
Corey Csuhta
Inserts advertisements to donate to charity on every checkout page https://givefreely.com/charity-ad-why?p=jsonformatterprod Do not install this
Oleg
It showed me a pop-up on a random site when I was trying to make a purchase. This is not cool, this is intrusion and abuse of trust - the extension should format JSON, not monitor every website I visit and show pop-ups. Is it even safe? Are you trying to steal my credit card number?
Patrick Bassner
Super annoying advertisements added to basically every website
Tom G
We may get paid commissions from companies and/or affiliate programs on sites visited and/or products purchased while using this browser extension. These commissions/affiliate-payments become the donations that go to your selected charity. The popups are bs.
Alex Clark
Injecting ads. No thanks.
Marius Eilertsen

William Hector

Dan Scanlon
This extension recently started injecting ads into web pages totally unrelated to its purpose.
Derek M.
It'll give a donation pop up on ecommerce checkout pages. It may or may not be legit but this is not okay for an extension to do. It's beyond agreed scope and violating trust.
Niels Prins
partnered with Give Freely.
Tran Dang Khoa
Used to be good, but the newest update added bloatware and injects unwanted page content. Do not recommend.

The developer backdoored adware into the plugin. Don't install.

Mon Noval
No Effing way this extension injects a popup when you are shopping online. Dude stop doing this!
Nikolay Ivanov
Had to uninstall it because it injects a dialog into sites that asks for donations when the JSON formatter is even not used
Anatolie Rotaru
Injects a dialog into sites that asks for donations when the JSON formatter is even not used.
Michael Vickers
Ad injector. Into the bin.
Dan Kleine
Worked perfectly until now. Suddenly, I'm getting pop-ups saying that JSON Formatter is registered as an affiliate when I make purchases and that I can select donation targets. This looks like the extension is a scam now. I uninstalled it immediately. Edit: The original package is available as „JSON Formatter Classic“ now. This one here is a commercial addon now, see archived GitHub source repository.
