What happened to "Vinted Filter by Location"?
The original "Vinted Filter by Location" Chrome extension is no longer installable from the Chrome Web Store. Multiple third-party trackers and review sites note that the listing has been removed. The developer keeps an informational landing page online, but if you click "Add to Chrome" today, you either get a dead store page or no functional install.
That leaves a lot of Vinted shoppers looking for a working replacement.
The modern alternative — Rackoon
Rackoon takes the original "filter the catalog by where the seller is" idea and pushes it further. Instead of typing in a single keyword (e.g. "Portugal") and filtering the catalog client-side, Rackoon parses each item's actual country and city — in 20+ languages — and gives you proper structured filters.
And because the heavy lifting (fetching item pages, parsing data) is already happening, Rackoon also surfaces three things the old extension never did: shipping cost, seller rating, and listing age, all on the catalog card.

Why a keyword filter isn't quite enough
The old extension's "type a location keyword" model breaks the moment you're on a non-English Vinted. Type "Germany" and you'll miss every card whose seller location reads "Allemagne", "Deutschland", "Niemcy", "Saksa" or "Germania". Rackoon normalises country names through a 20+ language dictionary, so the same item always resolves to the same country code regardless of which Vinted TLD you're browsing.

How to switch

- Open the Rackoon filter panel to set country, city, shipping cap, rating floor and age cap as needed.
