Thanks for the article.

I use this extension (and the app) regularly, which activates as soon as I visit Amazon in a container tab. In addition to providing in-depth statistics, features like alerts via Telegram have helped me hunt down bargains. I have noticed the increase in network requests and bandwidth when the tab is active, using basic tracking via Resource Monitor (W10). However, I can easily block it via uMatrix/uBO, if required. In this case, it is a trade-off, which can be justified.

Also, Tracker Control (Android) for Keepa app reports blocking just two trackers Google Crashlytics and Google Firebase Analytics -- so it is not as bad other apps.

I have used CamelCamelCamel in the past, which was more egregious and aggressive in tracking users, but don't know how it fares today.

Unfortunately, it isn’t that easy. You cannot use other extensions to block requests happening on the extension’s background page. Whatever tracking and scraping is going on, you can probably disable part of it via extension’s settings but otherwise there is nothing you can do.
