01
Detect the tactic
Rule-based DOM scanning checks for recognizable patterns such as countdown timers, crossed-out prices, fake viewing counters, and pre-checked upsells.
Browser intelligence, not buyer pressure
Catch the trick before you click buy.
Wired to buy spots manipulative shopping patterns, explains the mechanism in one sharp sentence, and turns every catch into a shareable win.
Chrome first. No account or payment card required for launch access.
The launch promise
Under-detect. Never over-accuse.
Credibility comes first, so Wired to buy launches with a deliberately narrow, hand-scripted tactic library.
Explainable by design
Every alert maps to a recognizable page pattern—not a mysterious model verdict.
Private by default
No account, database, or browsing-history archive in the first release.
Detect → explain → share
A second opinion at the point of purchase.
The extension stays quiet until it recognizes a strong signal. Then it gives you context without taking over the shopping experience.
02
Understand the mechanism
A compact browser badge names the tactic and explains how it is designed to shape your decision—without interrupting the page.
03
Share the catch
Generate a polished, branded image card that names the site and tactic, ready to post as an informed win rather than a complaint.
Launch pricing
Start by catching, not subscribing.

- Chance to feature in Hall of Shame
