A software developer made a Chrome and Firefox extension called Knockoff that automatically hides, grays out, or filters products from sketchy brands on Amazon, which highlights just how many shady brands are on the platform and how commonly they show up on searches for basic items.

The next level is getting it straight from AliExpress, skipping the 25% Bezos Yacht tax.

Is Aliexpress better than Temu?

No idea. AliExpress has some direct manufacturer stores and also resellers. Haven't used Temu. I tend to find a manufacturer or a brand that people buy and like, then buy from their official store or reseller if no official store. For example Toopre bike tools are fairly well liked - https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-toopre.html.
