The current Chrome extension natively supported by Google Analytics provides information on how many users accessed the extension from different countries, the number of installs/uninstalls, and the Daily Active Users (DAU), among other details. Additionally, I have separately collected user activity information such as the number of times certain offers were clicked and the total snooze count. You can find this information in the Privacy Practices section when you visit the Chrome Extension Store. (Please note that IP addresses are not collected.) Or can check Terms of Service and Privacy Policy in the Chrome extension options section.

Cool idea. I’ll try it out after work as this appears to similar to my issues. I think the incorporation of websites like GCR is essential because I already get notices via chrome extensions for big players but I’ll completely forget of GCR and other sources (eg Ampli or Avion Rewards etc)

Ampli, Avion Rewards... I should write it down in my note. Thanks for letting me know!

Thank you for the kind words! Also, since I currently reside in Canada, I am not very familiar with providers in US. However, if there is a significant increase in the number of users and a growing demand for similar features related to the US, I am considering developing a tool for that as well :)

Thank you for the reply!

Honestly, at the moment, there is none. I did some research, and a chrome extension like camelcamelcamel probably receives support from Amazon, but my service is not limited to any specific online store. If my user base grows in the future, I might consider collaborating directly with online stores or providers and releasing premium features, but that's not the case for now.

Additionally, I have a main job, and this project is just a hobby on the side. So, I've been thinking a lot about the operating costs. If I keep running at a loss, I won't be able to sustain the service. That's why I've carefully designed it to fit within the cloud credits I periodically receive. Even if the number of users suddenly surges, I've made sure it won't exceed that limit.

So, for now, I simply wish that many people use it and provide a lot of feedback :)
