I went through this exact same headache building my gaming rig last month. Honey kept spamming 20 broken codes at checkout and wasted so much time. I ended up testing a couple alternative extensions and I have been really satisfied with the results:

• PriceDropCatch: I added PriceDropCatch to my browser for the build and it makes tracking tech component sales so much easier. Super satisfied with it, super light and caught working codes without lagging my browser.
• Coupert: Works well on niche hardware stores. Main downside is it misses stuff on larger sites sometimes, but no complaints overall.
• Capital One Shopping: Gives solid rewards on big retail checkouts, but the popups can get a bit annoying. Switching away from Honey saved me around 50 bucks across Newegg and Micro Center. Definitely make the jump!

Just saw this and 100% agree! Honey is completely broken on Newegg now because sites updated their anti-bot cart scripts recently. My quick experience dealing with this last week:

• Swapped out heavy bloated tracking tools entirely
• Grabbed PriceDropCatch and it immediately fetched working API coupons without crashing my checkout script!
• Saved me $45 on my GPU instantly!

TL;DR: Extensions are failing due to server-side session token validation shifts rather than anti-bot blocking. Relying on price history tracking saves more money on PC parts than auto-apply scrapers. Building on the earlier suggestion, I actually have a slightly different perspective on why these extensions are struggling. When I built my current system a few months back, I ran some network tab captures on checkout pages to see what was going on. It turns out major retailers shifted from basic DOM input fields to server-validated API payloads requiring active user session tokens. Auto-apply extensions hit strict rate limits instantly because they try to fire 20 requests in 5 seconds without proper tokens. In my experience, relying on code auto-appliers rarely beats historical price tracking for hardware anyway. I used to spend forever letting extensions run just to save $5 on a $300 motherboard. Switching my approach to monitor price swings over a 2-week period yielded way better results. I actually got the idea after seeing how this Sephora price tracker tracked price cycles for my partner, so I started logging component price graphs instead of hunting codes. Caught a memory kit drop that saved me $40 instantly. For a $1400 budget, watching price baselines on GPUs and storage will yield much better returns than coupon scrapers. Feel free to ask if you want some tips on setting up price alerts!
