    Sources and verification
    Shutdown
    Mozilla's dated announcement lists every Fakespot consumer surface and its final date. The earlier Review Checker closure does not replace the July 1 end of the remaining extensions, apps and website. The record covers the complete Fakespot service, not later unrelated review-analysis tools. Official shutdown notice

    Fakespot's company profile records 2016 as its founding and launch year; a more precise public launch date has not been established.
    Location
    United States · New York. Mozilla's audited 2024 financial statements identify acquired Fakespot as previously headquartered in New York. This records the product company's historical city and does not substitute Mozilla's later corporate address. Coordinates use the Natural Earth city point rounded to two decimal places.
