Amazon Assistant

I was interested in trying out the extension despite the permissions it required. What I didn't realize was that this thing was going to bog down my browsing experience so much that I could barely navigate some webpages. The moment I isolated Edge's performance to this extension and removed it, everything was back to normal. Save yourself the trouble, don't even bother with this. Even when it does find a product to notify you of the price difference, it might not even find the right product.

When I installed the Amazon Assistant I really didn't pay attention to the requested permissions. When I went to enable it in Edge, I decided to look at them. There is no way I would ever enable this extension - I mean get real, Amazon - read and change my Favorites? Read and change anything I send or receive from websites? I love Amazon and I know they try to get control-happy like Google, but that's going too far for me. Thanks, but no thanks, Amazon.

The old 1 button app worked great for adding items from other website's online stores to your Amazon wish list. This app says it will do that, but that function doesn't appear to work (or, making it work requires some particular setup that isn't easily found).
