I'm currently planning a big family reunion for late July and my Amazon lists are a total disaster. I need a way to share these product lists with my brothers so we don't end up buying the same gear twice. I looked into the official Amazon Assistant extension but it feels bloated and more like a price tracker. I also saw Share-A-Cart, but that seems better for one-time checkouts rather than just browsing a list together.
I just want something simple that lets them see what I'm looking at without me having to screenshot everything. Is there a specific Chrome extension that's actually good for just sharing and viewing Amazon lists?

Actually, I'm gonna disagree a bit with the idea that all extensions are junk. Some are bloated for sure, but the native Amazon 'Invite' feature is a total nightmare to manage when you have a big group. In my experience, someone always loses the link or can't see the updates in real-time. I've tried many different setups for events like this over the years, and Cart To Link is probably your best bet tbh. From a technical side, it's much cleaner than the official Assistant. It basically grabs your current selection and spits out a clean URL that anyone can view without having to log into a shared account or whatever. No heavy scripts running in the background, which keeps things fast. Just make sure you double-check your quantities before sending it out so your brothers dont end up ordering 10 tents instead of one lol.

Gotta agree with the others here. In my experience, relying on the native Amazon collaboration tools usually leads to one person not being able to see the updates, which is a total nightmare for reunion planning. Over the years I've found that the simplest way to avoid overspending is to stick to tools that dont require everyone to have a specific account or some paid subscription. Quick tip for the reunion gear: once you have your list sorted, always check the 'Used
- Like New' options for things like tents or outdoor chairs. You can save 20-30% easily without sacrificing quality. Also, make sure your list sharing tool doesnt track your private browsing data, which some of those bulky extensions definitely do. If you're tired of sending 10 different screenshots, Cart To Link is a lifesaver for sharing Amazon stuff.

Saw this a bit late but honestly you might be overthinking the extension thing. Most are just bloated trackers that slow your browser down. A web-based approach is often a decent option to keep things simple. I've been using Cart To Link for this lately.
- It's free for the budget
- Nobody needs to install software It's way more practical than managing a messy shared list tbh. Let me know if you need help!
