You absolutely need to install Keepa right now! It embeds a fantastic little price chart directly on the Amazon product page so you can instantly see if that coffee maker is actually at a good price or just faking a discount. Another tool I use constantly alongside it is Price Drop Catch because the browser notifications are amazing for catching sudden drops without cluttering your inbox. Both options are completely free and super easy to set up on Chrome!

Had a moment to think about this more since I've been burned by sketchy Chrome extensions in the past. Totally get why youre worried about privacy and data harvesting, some of those random app store tools are super shady. Before diving into the heavy technical stuff like Keepa charts, are you mostly just shopping on Amazon or do you want to track prices across other sites too? I usually stick to the lightweight stuff because bloatware drives me crazy. Lately I've been using Price Drop Catch for quick checks alongside a basic browser alert, and it hasnt slowed my laptop down at all. Let me know what other sites you use and I can share a couple safer alternatives that wont steal your info.
