Disabling Price Comparison APPS?

[musicforkids]

I downloaded to my browser a price comparison app called Pricepeep. Now whenever I go to a shopping site it picks up what items I'm looking for and pulls up a bar which gives me options to buy elsewhere at a better price.
This is bad for my retail website. I have a hard enough time competing with Amazon, etc.
There must be a way to disable these apps when people come to your site. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Thanks,
Gary

Re: Disabling Price Comparison APPS?

Interesting problem ... I took a quick look at Pricepeep's site, but it doesn't have a lot of details. Offhand, I can think of two approaches.

It might be possible to put some JavaScript on your store pages that would detect and disable the Pricepeep pop-up. If the pop-up is contained in a div, maybe you can use JS to delete it, or at least make it invisible. However, browser extensions are powerful. If the pop-up is a separate window or dialog box, it may not be possible for JS in the page to access it.

The other possibility is to figure out what's triggering the pop-up, and then modify your pages to prevent that. E.g. if it's looking for dollar signs in the HTML code, maybe you can replace them with an HTML entity, or even a little GIF image.

That's about all I've got off the top of my head ... hope it helps --
