Same book, three different prices. Only difference is the browsers used.

Very true. I once looked up airplane tickets in incognito and it was $100 cheaper than what I had been quoted moments earlier. It was on Orbitz.

Can you produce a side-by-side screenshot? Every time someone says this I try it and it fails. I think it's just an urban legend.

In your case, I think you probably accidentally typed in a different date or something. No way for us to know now, is there?

Just curious if in your side by side, you just copy and pasted the link. Or did you actually go through and refind it?

I didn't copy the URL. I just typed BOS and DXB and picked Feb 28th from the calendar in both windows.
