How It Works Detection: The extension detects when you're on an IKEA product page by checking the URL pattern Extraction: It extracts the product ID from the URL (8-digit number) Fetching: It fetches the same product from all other selected regional IKEA websites Parsing: Prices are parsed from each region's page Conversion: Exchange rates are fetched from the Frankfurter API and from @fawazahmed0/currency-api Display: Comparisons are injected into the page, sorted by price (cheapest first) Troubleshooting Price comparison not showing Make sure you're on a product page (URL should end with an 8-digit number) Verify the current region is in your selected regions list Check that the product exists in the compared regions Try refreshing the page Exchange rate unavailable The exchange rate API might be temporarily unavailable The extension will still show the foreign prices without conversion CORS errors The extension requires proper host permissions to fetch cross-origin content Ensure the extension is properly installed with all permissions granted Privacy This extension: Does not collect any personal data Does not track your browsing history Only makes requests to IKEA and exchange rate API when you visit IKEA product pages Stores your region preferences locally in your browser
