I added a function to my chromium search program that gives me lots of alternative products at different sites. If I have it right, it's called Google Shopping, and I added it as an apps on my Google account.

Yes, I can go directly to Amazon, Ebay, or another site and shop from there, but by searching with my browser, which now uses Google Shopping, I automatically get all the sites and prices for the item shopped for.

Like I was looking for the correct printer ink for my HP 4100, which is a bit complicated by different labels, and could compare lots of descriptions and prices at different sites. I found that only the HP ink cartridges work, not the "remanufactured" cheaper versions. Some advertize their product works with the HP4100, but then don't include it in the list of suitable applications.

I'm tired of sending purchases back to Amazon for various reasons, so like the Google Shopping listing of alternatives.

He who hates vices hates mankind.
