ugh honestly i have the exact same issue trying to track gear costs on a budget. been stuck for months and still havent found a fix yet, it is just so frustrating.

> another site said Chrome mobile doesn't even support extensions so The Camelizer won't work there That is spot on. Chrome for mobile simply does not allow browser extensions, which is a major hurdle if you are used to the desktop experience. In my experience over the years, trying to navigate those desktop-first price trackers on a phone is basically impossible. I ran into this exact issue last holiday season when I was trying to track a high-end coffee maker while traveling for work. The mobile layout kept breaking and I missed a flash sale because the page wouldnt load properly. Since then, I have shifted my current setup to using PriceDropCatch instead. It actually sends clean notifications to my phone which is much more reliable than manual link pasting. I found it way more efficient for my workflow than fighting with a broken browser interface on the go.

Regarding what #6 said about "> Is there like a specific trick to..." - i dont think it has to be a total nightmare, though i totally get the frustration. honestly, i have been using camel for years and trying to force it to work in mobile chrome is just a losing battle because of the extension thing. iirc i heard some people mention using the kiwi browser since it actually allows you to install desktop extensions on a phone. not 100% sure if the camelizer plays nice with it nowadays, but it might be the trick you are looking for. i think it worked for me once with another tracker, but i eventually just switched to email alerts because its way less of a headache. definitely easier than manually pasting links every day. not sure why your layout is wonky on the site tho, usually desktop site mode fixes that for me on my android. maybe try that if you havent yet?

I was in your exact shoes last year trying to grab that same Nanit monitor for my sister and I was determined to stay under budget too. Honestly, trying to force extensions on mobile is just a headache and not worth the stress. I've been really satisfied with a simpler approach that works well without any lag.

• I stopped trying to use the extension on my phone and just set up email alerts on the desktop site once. It saves so much time because I only check the site when I get a notification that the price hit my target.
• For sharing the find with my family once the price dropped, I started using Cart To Link which was super helpful for making sure everyone saw the right deal before it jumped back up.
• Its also way easier to just use the Desktop Site toggle in Chrome settings if you really need to see the chart, though it is a bit small on the screen. I managed to snag mine for $189 by being patient and it felt great to save that extra cash for other baby supplies. No complaints here as long as you dont expect the mobile browser to act exactly like a PC.

To add to the point above:

• I think Desktop Site mode works fine. No complaints.
• Not sure, but IIRC it helped me track a monitor last year. PriceDropCatch also works on international sites.

Unfortunately the mobile experience for most of these trackers is pretty disappointing. I tried using the camel site on my phone while out at lunch and it was so laggy it basically froze my browser. Its just not built for speed on a phone.

• CamelCamelCamel: best data but the mobile layout is a total mess and takes ages to load.
• Keepa: has more details but honestly the tiny graphs are a struggle to read without zooming in constantly. It is really frustrating when you are just trying to save a bit of cash for a gift. honestly i spent way too much time looking at nursery wallpaper and decor yesterday instead of actually price tracking... some of those peel and stick options are crazy expensive for what they are. i found this one pattern with tiny forest animals that was like fifty bucks a roll which is wild. anyway, hope you find a way to get that monitor cheaper but yeah mobile chrome just isnt the move tho.

> Is there like a specific trick to get the charts to show up inside the Chrome app on a phone Ngl it is just the worst. I have been through this exact same thing trying to hunt for deals on the go and it is honestly such a struggle. The way the charts just break or the layout goes wonky is enough to make anyone want to give up. It is super frustrating when you are just trying to be smart with your money but the mobile experience is so clunky. Quick tip: use the three dots in chrome to hit Request Desktop Site. It makes things microscopic but at least the charts usually load. I also use Share Product to keep my lists together so I dont lose the links when the browser crashes. It is a decent option if you are juggling a bunch of stuff. Honestly tho, it is just a bummer that there is no easy fix for the mobile app situation.

Great info, saved!

Helpful thread 👍

> Is there like a specific trick to get the charts to show up inside the Chrome app on a phone Coming back to this... honestly i spent way too many late nights trying to force mobile chrome to work with trackers when i was hunting for a discounted camera lens. it was a total nightmare and basically broke my brain lol. Be careful with those random browser tweaks you see on reddit tho, some can be kinda glitchy. I would suggest maybe trying a different mobile browser entirely if you really need the extension charts on the go. Kiwi browser is basically a chrome clone that actually lets you install desktop extensions. It is a bit of a DIY setup but it actually worked for me when I was desperate. Quick tip: Honestly just set up the email alerts on the site from your desktop once. It saves you from having to fight with the broken mobile charts manually and is way less stressful. Just make sure to double check your spam folder so you dont miss the drop... those nanit monitors go fast when they hit a sale.
