New requirements:
What's happening: The new "data collection" categories you're seeing aren't Keepa suddenly requesting more access — they're part of a new disclosure format Mozilla now requires from all Firefox extensions (rolled out since late 2025). Developers must now explicitly declare data categories that, in many cases, the extension was already handling — this is just making it visible.

Why these categories match Keepa's actual function:

* Browsing activity — Keepa needs to detect when you're on an Amazon product page to show price history.
* Website content — it reads the page (product name, ASIN) to build its price charts.
* Personal data — likely covers optional contact info (e.g., email) if you set up price alerts.
* Technical/interaction data — marked as optional, probably standard analytics (errors, browser version). You can decline this without losing functionality.

randomly asks for invasive permissions without any saying about it would even need them to work

Privacy nightmare

Tracking begins! Why are add-ons that were originally good being deliberately ruined like this?

After 2 years of absence, the clown developers suddenly ask for invasive & personal tracking permissions with a sudden "bug fixes, code optimizations" update.

Out of nowhere they want to track your complete browser activity which has nothing to do with their function. Removing it.

Invasive privacy update to sell your data

This just became a privacy nightmare. Uninstalled.

August 14, 2026: An update of this add-on asks for permission to track all my browsing activity. No way, uninstalled.

It was a great extension until it suddenly said it needed access to my browsing activity, personally identifying information, and website content, which it clearly doesn't need.

There is zero reason to collect personally identifying information.

Uninstalled due to privacy concerns and I suggest anyone reading this review does the same.

Absolutely no reason to need personally identifying information. Uninstalled.

Uninstalling until the recent changes requiring lots of personal data collection is rolled back. There is no need for this info and hasn't been needed for years. Enshitification

Weird how it totally worked just fine before needing this. Delete it and look for an alternative people this thing is dead and shady as fuck now

required data collection, according to the developer:

Browsing activity
Personally identifying information
Website content

Its been great until I got a notification they wanted more user information. uninstalled

Greed got these guys like it did everyone else. There would be far more users if you made it affordable for everyone. But you decide to track more user information and cut way down the free version. No thanks. Look elsewhere, there are some really good competitors. And to think I have to now warn all the people I told to install it.

Love what this does but they keep adding more and more ways to take your data for no reason other than sell it. No thanks.

Keepa - Amazon Price Tracker requires new settings to update. New required data collection: The developer says the extension will collect:
browsing activity, website content, personally identifying information

yeah, no thanks, uninstalled.

It does it's job, but why does it need "personally identifying information" ?
I will just uninstall this shit, as if we needed more trackers.
