From the about page of the linked site:

> Journals that publish work without proper peer review and which charge scholars sometimes huge fees to submit should not be allowed to share space with legitimate journals and publishers, whether open access or not. These journals and publishers cheapen intellectual work by misleading scholars, preying particularly early career researchers trying to gain an edge. The credibility of scholars duped into publishing in these journals can be seriously damaged by doing so. It is important that as a scholarly community we help to protect each other from being taken advantage of in this way.

Seems to me that there should be a browser extension or something to bring things like this to a person's attention. Maybe a uBlock Origin list?

You can use my keyword highlighter, at least for the invented words (needs modifications for multiple-worded names though):

I second the idea of a browser extension for bad brands/journals/websites in general, maybe something like this posted earlier could be expanded [0].
