Install Wikibuy, Find Lower Prices Online

Do you shop on Amazon a lot? I sure do. In fact, I think about 80% of the items I’ve purchased in the last 5 years have come from the megastore. But while most of us assume Amazon always has the best prices, that’s not always the case. Turns out that many other big retailers like eBay, Jet, Target, and other, can often beat Amazon’s prices.

But how can you find out when you’re not getting the best price? Simple, just install the Wikibuy Chrome browser extension. This handy tool automatically keeps an eye on your Amazon browsing, and offers lower priced alternatives when available. When you first sign up for WikiBuy, they show you a list of products you’ve recently looked at on Amazon and show you potential better deals.

The extension is really easy to use, and works in less than 10 seconds to show you the lowest price Wikibuy can find – including shipping and tax. You won’t spend hours scouring the web for better prices. WikiBuy takes care of it for you. Here’s a great example of savings that I found today while I was shopping Amazon:

Pretty slick, eh? Basically, all you do is shop, and Wikibuy shows you how to get the better price. When customers find a lower price, they can make their purchase through Wikibuy, who offers a universal shopping cart across numerous online sellers, making it easy to register just once, and buy from multiple outlets. Just hit the “Quick View” button in the bottom left corner, and you’re taken to a shopping cart to make your purchase. All purchases made via Wikibuy include a money-back guarantee.

Best of all, Wikibuy is totally free. Check for better prices automatically at WikiBuy’s website for more information, or if you’re ready to install, you can grab the Chrome extension right here.

Mozilla tests out opt-in system for plug-ins in latest Firefox nightly build

Plug-ins bogging down your web browsing? Then it looks like you could soon have another option to cut through the clutter right in Firefox. The latest nightly build of the browser includes a new feature that lets users turn off all plug-ins by default and then click on each to enable them (something that, we should note, can already be done through third-party add-ons). While that functionality is still in the early stages, Mozilla's Jared Wein says that they're now working on adding the ability to remember plug-in settings on a per-site basis, and hope to have the feature ready for the release version of Firefox 14 (currently due out in July). In the meantime, you can get an early look at the feature in the latest nightly build available at the source link below.
