- Rated 5 out of 5by PatheticCockroach, 5 months agoI forked the ancestor of this add-on almost a decade ago and totally forgot about it. Glad to see it's still alive, and great initiative.
Sadly the alternative websites are a let-down: on a product I tried (a toothbrush), out of the 5 alternative shops, 2 were down (and given the error message, I assume permanently gone), 1 gave me a captcha wall from hell (I'm not interested in trading Amazon for creeps like Netacea and ReCaptcha), and 2 gave me no relevant results.
This has nothing to do with the quality of the work done on the extension though. You can lead a sheeple to water... - Rated 5 out of 5by R.K. Devere, 6 months agoVery good, thanks. Would be much better if I could add my own alternative shops.

posted 6 months agoHey there, there was indeed a few problem while upgrading the extension recently but this should be fixed now, feel free to try again! - Rated 3 out of 5by Simon, 2 years agoI'm sure this works in many countries. But in Japan, when I look on amazon.co.jp the alternative options take me to French portals. It would be great if there were Japanese portals. Even the Rakuten option takes me to the French page.

posted 6 months agoHey Simon, I haven't added any alternative to the Japan website yet because I don't know that market very well. I will investigate to find proper alternatives and stop displaying French shops as a placeholder! - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 17169657, 2 years agoUnfortunately this just breaks Amazon's site completely now

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14379205, 4 years agoI would like to use this Add-on but for me it didn't work(I also tried the Book on the screenshot).
But keep going! - Rated 5 out of 5by saimyx, 5 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Nibinaear, 5 years agoI have tried it again. I really like the idea but I have 2 problems now:
1. The dropdown vanishes when I roll over it.
2. There are no prices given so I have to try everything in the list to find the best prices. With some books this could be 10 different bookshops.Developer response
posted 2 years agoThe extension was launched mostly in France at first but now you have many more alternatives for the UK markets, feel free to give it another try! - Rated 3 out of 5by Miguel Garza, 5 years agoEdit #2 2023:
This works now on Firefox. Not particularly configurable, as best I can tell (only shows three bookstores), but it works.

Edit 2023:
I stopped using Firefox for quite some time. I think this extension works on Chrome but not on Firefox, if I'm not mistaken...
-----
I really want this to work--remember BookBurro?--but it only shows three bookstore websites and they are all only French language. There should be a better explanation of where this extension works, in the name of the extension and/or in the description.Developer response
posted 2 years agoI know you commented a long time ago but since then I added more countries and stores (it started as France-only so I understand the frustration). You can have more infos on the Git repository https://github.com/amazon-alternatives/extension - Rated 5 out of 5by Adrian Tombu, 6 years ago
