Honey extension

[Muse]

I've used this for a while, have gotten some good results. Suddenly, the last couple days when I go to see the price history of an Amazon item (using Chrome), the window comes up for a split second but then it becomes completely white/blank and remains that way. I'm having no better luck using Brave. In Brave when I want to see the price history the screen doesn't disappear but it has a box asking me to select an option (which I assume is 30, 90 or 120 days), but the control doesn't function and I get no graph of prices. What's wrong?

No idea. Try Camel, camel, camel instead?

Isn't Honey a Firefox extention? Maybe you have to sign in to your account to use it.

I used it for a lil while, until I started getting annoyed with it opening small popups in the upper right corner by the extension button, and then I discovered that it's PayPal owned.

Bye-bye, I want nothing to do with PP or any of it's connected businesses and services.

Took me a while to get anything out of it, I was using on Firefox IIRC. I stopped using FF cause I had major performance issues. Probably could solve those but instead started using Chrome pretty full time, partly because NYTimes recommended Chrome, so...

I've had Honey working great AFAIK on Chrome until a day or two ago. It works except that I like to use the See price history link, which is pretty cool. It defaults to 30 days, you see a graph of the price over that time period. You can use a drop down selector to choose other time frame, e.g. 60 days and 90 days, and I always go to the 90 day one. Right now I can't even get the default 30 day. It just goes blank white. I cleared Amazon site cache and data, no help. Honey has no cookies and site data, evidently, in Chrome. I'm also having an issue at www.nextdoor.com, the screen goes completely black! Clearing Chrome site data and cache for Nextdoor didn't resolve it.

Cool thing about Honey is that it sends you email if an item you add to your droplist suddenly drops in price. Defaults to 5% but you can customize that. I've picked up some real good deals due to those email notifications. Sometimes you look and the price has jumped back up, but sometimes not and the drops can be major big. I really don't see a downside. Aside from the notifications, you actually accumulate points with Honey and can get cash back. I did that and got a IIRC Amazon coupon for dollars a while ago.

Another user of camelcamelcamel here. They also can send you an email if the price drops below your set amount. It looks like they also have a browser extension but I just use the site.

I've used Camel^3 some, just a little, though.

ATM, Honey price history isn't working in Chrome or Brave on this W10 machine, but I see it's working (at least for one item) as it usually does in MS Edge. So, I have a workaround. I figure there may be something wrong with this machine. Don't know how to trouble shoot it. Nextdoor isn't working right at all either all of a sudden. Just don't know.
