Nice idea. Fail execution. Move along. Nothing to see here.

Mine still shows stuff I added on 12/16. It probably only works on that PC, and might not show anything if you clear cookies? Those of you who are getting the ever spinning circle/drop, do you have a security suite installed? I had one in the past and when using one of the programs in it, I had issues with certain websites that had buttons (such as the Reply one here).
It works to an extent - prices on one of my items went up 22 cents.

I just installed this on my laptop and when I check Tools>PriceDrop>Tracked Prices and it brings up a blank page saying, "There are currently no tracked products. Go to any Amazon product's page, and start tracking it!" Um, I already had several items tracked on my other computer, you worthless nothing of an extension.

Seriously. This is hardly a "fail in execution" or "nothing to see here." This is a great application that works well, for free.

Is there any difference between this and just adding stuff to your Amazon cart and checking it every so often? The cart will also show you if Marketplace sellers reduce their price, albeit on a one by one basis. I tend to go to my Amazon cart a few times per day to see if any items have gone up or down in price, so that's why I want to know if there are any other features or advantages to this extension. Thanks.

I'm supposed to remember what I'm looking for as I manually add them to multiple computers (e.g. home, work, laptop) or else I'm lazy? I have an eBay auction tracker extension that pops up alerts for pending auction expirations or outbids regardless of which computer I'm sitting at. There are bookmarking extensions that do the same, but I'm out of line to suggest that this thing match every other reasonable extension as far as functionality? Hardly. Perhaps the problem is some people are too willing to put up with second-rate stuff or don't notice the lapses because they only use one computer.
