Try (the Amazon support in) The Camelizer for Google Chrome (beta)

July 6th, 2010 by dan

Tonight we launch a beta Google Chrome version of the Camelizer that brings back Amazon support!  Please install it and use it like you normally do, but remember that it is a test version, will likely have bugs, and most definitely lacks polish.

The Camelizer for Google Chrome works a bit differently than its Firefox counterpart, thanks to differences in how extensions work in the two browsers.  No matter, it is nothing to scoff at as seen in the following screenshot.

Just click the Camel icon on any supported retailer’s product pages and you will see a price history chart popup.  If you click the chart, a new tab will be opened to our site which shows more price history detail and gives you the opportunity to create price watches.

Install the Camelizer v1.3a for Google Chrome.  You might have to disable older versions first.

Please report any ideas or bugs or anything; I am always happy to read and respond to your feedback.

Addendum (by Nithya): To close the popup, you just have to click anywhere on the page outside the popup. It’s pretty easy and intuitive, but figured I’d mention it anyway since it’s different from the way it worked in the old camelizer. Clicking on the camelizer icon again does nothing as far as I can tell.

Gene: Which version of Chrome are you using? To me that error seems like the file didn’t download all the way or something like that.

Gene: it is possible that your problem is related to this bug in Chrome: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=13044 . I can’t seem to reproduce it.
