I am having trouble finding it now but I used to use a Picture in Picture extension that just made the controls more apparent (I use Brave and you have to do a menu dive for it by default). The extension had been featured by google when I added it.
At some point they signed on with a monetization scheme that:
- Redirected you through its sales attribution url any time you accessed a store (which bounced you to the site's front page instead of your search result)
- Rearranged your search results to put its affiliated stores at the top
- Marketed itself mainly to retailers as an ad network with no mention of browser extensions anywhere.
If it werent for the annoying redirect I probably would have never noticed that something was wrong.
