Plays a sound when you click a product priced above your set budget. Broke plays a sound when you click a product that costs more than you said you could afford. That's it. No bank login. No data collection. No pop-up. Just a noise and the page opens normally like nothing happened. ───────────────────────────────────── HOW IT WORKS ───────────────────────────────────── 1. Open the extension popup and type in your budget (e.g. 50.00). 2. Browse Amazon or eBay as you normally would. 3. Click anything, a product title, image, or link. 4. If the price next to what you clicked is over your budget, an alert sound plays. 5. The page opens anyway. The click is never blocked. The sound is the only feedback. There's no overlay, no badge, no notification. You hear it, you know, you proceed with your choices. ───────────────────────────────────── WHAT IT DETECTS ───────────────────────────────────── Broke reads the price text that's already visible on the page, the same number you can already see in your browser. It matches common currency formats: $XX.XX, €XX,XX, £XX.XX. It does not fetch prices from any server, does not call any API, and does not read anything other than the text content of the page you're already on. Supported sites: Amazon (amazon.com, .it, .fr, .co.uk, .de) and eBay (ebay.com, .it, .fr, .co.uk, .de). It also checks the price when you land directly on a product page, so if you navigate to an Amazon or eBay product URL, the alert fires on page load if the price exceeds your budget, not just on click. ───────────────────────────────────── WHAT IT DOES NOT DO ───────────────────────────────────── - It does not connect to your bank or any financial service. - It does not track what you browse, what you click, or what you search. - It does not send any data anywhere. Ever. - It does not block, delay, or redirect your navigation. - It does not inject any visible UI into pages. - It does not use any third-party analytics or crash-reporting services. - It does not read pages outside Amazon and eBay. Your budget number is stored locally on your device using Chrome's built-in storage. It never leaves your browser. ───────────────────────────────────── KNOWN LIMITATIONS ───────────────────────────────────── Price detection is based on text pattern matching. It won't work on sites that render prices as images, use non-standard markup, or display price ranges without a clear single value. It works reliably on Amazon and eBay product listings; results on other pages (search results, recommendation carousels) may vary. Currency conversion is not handled. The extension compares raw numbers. If your budget is in euros and the page shows a dollar price, the comparison is still numeric, it won't convert between currencies. ───────────────────────────────────── PERMISSIONS USED ───────────────────────────────────── storage → to save your budget number locally on your device. offscreen → to play audio from the background service worker (required by Chrome's Manifest V3 architecture, which cannot play audio directly from a service worker). Host permissions → (Amazon and eBay domains only) to run the content script that reads page prices and listens for clicks. No other permissions are requested.
