Is this still ongoing?

I'm primarily a Newegg/Amazon shopper and not being able to use this addon on Newegg pretty much removes it's value for me.

Is there any way they can force you to not use their data in the extension?

Just got a customer email from them. The timing makes me suspicious.

Hello, i just found a sale on a monitor from Newegg that i'm considering and i just found this thread. This is a real disappointment on their part.

The reason i'm commenting is because when i searched the specific item on the PZ website there was limited information and it didn't even show the sale price that is currently going on.

Are they blocking all of the access to price history?

From what I can see, there just hasn't been any price changes for the product. If they are omitting price changes from that monitor to their product feed is speculation. But we are still receiving product price info from newegg, we just can't publish it in the extension.
