| 2020-06-27 |  | | It looks like this extension hasn't been in development for a while, so this may be a moot point. It used to work so well (5 stars!) but it looks as if Amazon has found a way to block it. On top of that, I have just realised today that the extension being enabled is the cause of some frustrating issues I've been having with Amazon since the start of lockdown, i.e. only able to view the first product image and clicking images reveals a large blank white pop-up which then freezes over the rest of the page until it is manually refreshed. Disable the extension and the problem goes away... | |

| 2016-01-28 |  | | We all know why we should question purchasing from Amazon. Have used this for a while and it's a great addition. I often find that the book is actually cheaper. | |
