Ive been buying stuff on Amazon for years and always relied on price tracking tools so I dont get scammed by fake discounts. But I went to check a 27 inch LG monitor today for my home office setup since I need to buy it before Friday, and Keepa is suddenly locking the historical price graphs behind a monthly sub now? Or maybe they changed it recently and I just noticed. Im so annoyed because I need to see if this 350 dollar deal is real or if it was 300 last month.

Are there any actually free browser extensions left for Firefox or Chrome that show full Amazon price history without hiding data?

I went through this exact situation a few months ago when analyzing tech hardware purchases. After Keepa modified their free data layer, I spent time testing back-end data tracking alternatives on Chrome and Firefox to keep my workflow efficient. Here are a couple technical alternatives that work well without paywalls:

  • Glass It: Excellent lightweight extension that tracks Amazon price history by reading target DOM elements rather than relying solely on gated API data.
  • Honey: While primary focused on coupons, its 120-day price trend module gives a solid short-term window directly on the Amazon product page. My personal setup has been running smoothly with no complaints since switching. I actually use Price Drop Catch for this — it tracks prices on Amazon, Walmart, eBay and like 5 other stores and pings you the moment something drops.

I had the exact same issue last month! Switch over to Camelizer, it is absolute magic and totally free! It pulls up the full CamelCamelCamel price history chart right on the Amazon page without charging a single dime. Ive been using it for like 5 years now for all my tech gear purchases and I love it. Saved me so much cash on my own monitor upgrade!

Wait really?? Thats actually super helpful. I always thought it was the other way around.

Honestly I was so paranoid about sketchy extensions reading my private data after a coworker got hit with browser malware last year! I love hunting for tech deals, but safety and reliability have to come first! IIRC a few clean options are still out there:

  • Keepa web site check: Not sure but I think you can still paste the Amazon URL directly on their main website to view basic graphs safely without installing anything invasive!
  • Lightweight trackers: Someone told me about a handy tool recently that keeps browser permissions super minimal while tracking history for free, which sounds fantastic!
  • CamelCamelCamel site bookmarks: I think using their main web page directly is honestly the safest route if you want zero extension risk while checking if that 350 dollar monitor deal is genuine! Always double check what permissions an extension asks for before adding it to Firefox or Chrome!
