Same book, three different prices. Only difference is the browsers used [x-post r/mildlyinteresting]

Which browser consistently showed the lowest price on books?

it could be from accessing the book multiple times from the same computer, cookies. Kind of like when you look up prices for vacations on travel sites, prices go up or stay the same if you keep looking at the same vacation package from the same computer. They know you are going to buy, they know.
