amazon price firefox addon

Posted in Bash on September 27th, 2009 by gmunteanu

if you happen to be on a webpage where a book is mentioned and want to know its amazon price or even buy it, then this extension is for you.  it adds to the link my amazon affiliate id too, so if you feel offended then you must remove it before you paste it in your location bar. it is much lighter than altctrl, and uses amazon API to do the job.

if more books are present on the page, it takes the first one and uses it. i haven’t yet decided how to best incorporate in the user interface the other books, maybe it will be done in the next version.

you can find it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/14540 .

info on altctrl :  it will be rewritten ~50% due to help from mihai mafteianu . it will reduce bandwidth consumption, matching products will be better , plus i can now extend to books and beyond.
