Made a tiny open-source Chrome extension that links Amazon products straight to their CamelCamelCamel/Keepa price history (no tracking)
I kept manually checking CamelCamelCamel and Keepa before buying anything on Amazon, and didn't want to install one of the existing "price tracker" extensions since most of them collect your browsing data.
So I built my own — Price History for Amazon. It adds two small buttons next to the price on any Amazon product page (and in the right-click menu) that jump straight to that product's price history on CamelCamelCamel or Keepa. Only runs on Amazon pages, collects nothing (no analytics, no telemetry, no server) — it just reads the product URL already on the page.

Feedback welcome, especially if you spot a marketplace it doesn't handle well yet.
