Here's an article on a timely subject: online shopping. Americans were already shopping online at record levels before COVID hit, and during isolation, we've been doing it even more. But at the same time, we're also trying harder to save money in the shadow of the worst recession since the Great Depression.
That makes money-saving browser extensions an absolute win-win. Years ago, I was delighted to discover PriceBlink, a free add-on that could automatically compare prices for a given item across different sites so I didn't have to visit dozens of stores looking for the best price; today, this is only one of dozens of other add-ons that can save you dough in various ways. Some find and apply coupon codes, some compare prices across different sites, some track prices over time on just one site, some give you cash back for shopping — and a few do a little bit of everything.
One warning about this article: The section on Wikibuy was originally added to the article toward the end of the list, so in it I made comparisons to several other extensions that I'd discussed earlier in the piece. However, before publishing the piece, the editor moved this section to the top, presumably because it's a sponsored link and they wanted it to be as prominent as possible. Unfortunately, this means all those references to other extensions — PriceBlink, Honey, The Camelizer, Rakuten CashBack, Ibotta — are now just confusing. So my advice is to skip over this section and come back to it once you've finished reading the rest of the piece. Then it will make sense.
