Is there any way to get Amazon price tracker extensions like Keepa or CamelCamelCamel working on mobile Chrome or am I just hitting a brick wall here? I feel like a total noob asking this because Ive been using these tools on desktop for like ten years now and never had a problem but I’m away from my PC today and things are getting stressful.
Basically Im trying to pull the trigger on a Breville Barista Express because the price just dipped but I need to see the historical data to know if this is actually a lowest ever price or just some fake discount before Prime Day kicks off properly. My budget is tight at $500 so I cant afford to overpay by fifty bucks just because I couldnt check a graph. I have been watching this specific listing for weeks and the price fluctuates like crazy.
I opened up Chrome on my Pixel 7 and went to the web store but there isnt even an add to chrome button visible. I tried toggling the desktop site mode in the settings menu thinking that might trick it into showing the extension bar or at least letting me install the .crx file manually but nothing happened. Its like the mobile version of Chrome is just a completely different beast under the hood when it comes to the extension API which is honestly super frustrating for power users. I even tried looking for a way to sideload it but that seems way too risky for a simple price tracker.
I know there are separate apps for some of these services but they never seem to integrate directly into the browser page like the desktop versions do where the graph just sits right under the product image. Is there some workaround I missed? Maybe a specific flag in chrome://flags or something that enables extension support? I really need to track this price before the stock runs out in the next few hours...
Chrome mobile is a total dead end for extensions! I had this exact freak-out hunting for my espresso machine last year... basically losing my mind. To stay safe and get those graphs, I use Kiwi Browser because it supports desktop extensions natively!
