    Hey all!
    Would be interested in any feedback for this small extension that I made. I came up with the idea when I was buying some gadget on Amazon and found the same exact product for a fraction of the price on AliExpress, albeit with a longer delivery time.
    Turns out finding similar products on AliExpress wasn't that simple. Searching by keywords in the title often brought completely irrelevant results. Their app has an option to search by image, but I hate using any other aspect of it.
    There are similar extensions on the market, but they are a bit too heavy: adding extra menu fields, opening results in a new page.
    My variant is limited to Amazon currently, but requires minimal effort to use: all results are shown in the popup window.
