Only shopping plugin I use is the one that comes with Edge. Surprisingly good to track price history and find other sites selling the product. I considered some Chrome plugin that displays an Amazon product's country of origin to avoid Chinesium but apparently it didn't work well or something like that from reading the reviews. Had some attached rewards function for shopping with it, ick.

It's funny how Edge got lambasted for it when they introduced that feature, but it's legitimately super helpful and non-invasive.

I had no idea it was, I don't keep up with browser news. I just wish they didn't migrate to Chromium. It became my main browser for a brief period before that.

I just used it randomly when I was working and doing some shopping for a computer in my downtime and decided to try out the feature. That and the AI are super good when combo'ed to shop smart. Managed to save $800 off a quality laptop.
