Based on the screenshots, I don&amp;#x27;t think I&amp;#x27;ll use it. It looks like it just recommends brand name products to buy.&lt;p&gt;Not all recipes call for the same substitution for the same ingredient. And not everyone has the same philosophy about how to substitute.&lt;p&gt;For instance, eggs. There are several different uses for them in recipes; binding, leavening, moisture, protein content, etc. There are several different substitutions and most do some of those things better than others. Picking a good egg substitute, or choosing to simply leave the eggs out, requires knowledge and experience, or at least a flow chart.&lt;p&gt;There&amp;#x27;s enough of an art to it that I&amp;#x27;d rather see how others solved the problem than consult a browser plugin that seems geared more to sell me stuff than to help me solve problems.</text></comment>

Critically, it does not convert the recipe you submit to a vegan one. The “AI-based” marketing language, the affiliate links, the use of an extension … this feels a lot like spam to me.</text></comment>
