I've got about $400 worth of camping gear for an Adirondacks trip next month just sitting in my Amazon cart. Usually I just buy everything but Mike wants to check the specs on the stove and tents before I pay. I've used Amazon forever so I know the UI well but I realized there isnt a simple "share cart" link which is just wild.
My logic was to use a Chrome extension but I'm worried about my session data and if that's safe with my saved cards. I thought about a Wish List but it doesnt handle the quantities right and feels like a hassle for one order. Is there a way to do this natively without just screenshotting everything?

In my experience, using random extensions is a massive security risk for your session data. Ive seen session tokens get hijacked way too easily. Over the years, I found the only safe native workflow:
- Move items to a dedicated Shopping List
- Set privacy to Shared instead of Private
- Send the collaboration link It preserves the specific ASINs and specs Mike needs. Definitely safer than risking your saved cards with some third-party dev.

^ This. Also, be super careful with those browser extensions. I once used one that started throwing weird popups on checkout pages. It felt super shady.
- they usually ask for read and change permissions
- some can scrape your saved payment methods
- most are just poorly coded and leak data Basically, dont trust anything that needs access to your cookies. Your session data is worth more than the 5 minutes you'd save.
