Amazon Assistant
The Amazon Assistant extension detects the product page from an external retailer (such as Microsoft Store, Staples, or Best Buy), and it shows you the information of the same product with the price history on Amazon.
The primary purpose of the extension is to bring you to Amazon when viewing a product on another retailer. However, it’s also a powerful tool for checking the price history of virtually any product on Amazon.
To install the Amazon Assistant, use these steps:

After you complete the steps, you can browse any product on Amazon, and the extension will add the price history at the bottom of the description.
The Camelizer
Finally, The Camelizer is an extension similar to Keepa that uses the CamelCamelCamel service to surface the price history of Amazon products to help you make a more informed decision about a product.
You can use the service without an account, but you must sign up to create trackers and receive alerts.
To install The Camelizer extension on the default browser for Windows 11, use these steps:
Once you complete the steps, click the extension button in the address bar to view the price history of the Amazon product to review how the price has changed over time and determine whether the purchase will be worthy.
