Extension summary

Hover Hound adds a small button on Newegg product and search pages linking to the same product on Amazon. It displays the price and whether the item is Amazon Prime eligible. It's that simple!

This extension only works on newegg.com and only takes you from Newegg to Amazon, not the other way around. No bloat, no BS, no excessive permissions.
