Here's how I use all these tools in a typical shopping session, and trust me, once you establish this workflow, it becomes second nature! I start by opening the KakoBuy spreadsheet and using developer tools to sort by my preferred criteria. I identify potential sellers, then open each in a new tab. Using my tab manager, I organize these into a collection.

For each seller, I run a reverse image search on their product photos, check my bookmarked community forums for mentions, use translation tools to read all available reviews, and check the Wayback Machine for their history. I take notes using my web clipper, categorize them in my bookmark system, and set up monitoring if they're on my watchlist but I'm not ready to buy yet.
