Open the Chrome Web Store.
Search for “Amazon Assistant” or go to the official Amazon Assistant extension page.
Click Add to Chrome and confirm by choosing Add extension.
After installation, click the extension icon and sign in with your Amazon account when prompted.
Configure preferences (country/storefront, notifications, wishlist sync) in the extension settings.
Optionally pin the extension to the toolbar for easier access: right-click the icon and choose Pin.

Limit permissions: Grant only necessary permissions and review what the extension requests before installing.
Use separate accounts if concerned: Consider using a secondary Amazon account for shopping if you want to separate browsing behaviors.
Review extension settings: Turn off features you don’t need (e.g., notifications or price-tracking) to reduce data collection.
Check extension updates and publisher: Ensure the extension is published by Amazon and keep it updated to receive security fixes.
Remove when unused: Uninstall the extension if you stop using it to stop further data access.

If you want, I can provide step-by-step screenshots for installation or a short checklist of the exact permissions the extension typically requests.
