Hey! Super cool idea, unfortunately it just doesn't seem to work for me. I'm Italian. I tried this with 3 different products: -Samsung galaxy tab s9 FE; -Logitech c922 webcam; -Optimum Nutrition whey protein powder These are all items I can find online on other stores with a google search, but the button simply says "no alternative found, click to send an email to the developer". The one time it did work, it was for a book, which is Story from Robert McKee, but even then all it did was send me to ethicalbooksearch.com where I was told they couldn't find any option for Italy. Once again, I found multiple results with a Google search. Again, really cool idea, would love a quick way to find alternatives to amazon, buuut for now it just don't work

I 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...
