DS Amazon Quick View: What It Is, What It Shows, and How to Use It

DS Amazon Quick View is a free Chrome extension that adds product ranking and seller information directly to Amazon search results — so you can evaluate products without opening each listing individually.

What Is DS Amazon Quick View?

At its core, this is a browser productivity tool for Amazon. Install it, visit amazon.com, and it starts working automatically — no configuration needed out of the box.The extension is built and maintained by Dmitry Artamoshkin (developer handle: amidart).

It's listed on the Chrome Web Store, has over 600,000 users, and holds a 4.0 out of 5 rating from roughly 1,000 reviews. The current version as of late 2025 is 3.3.35.It's free. There's also a paid extended version — more on that below.

What Does DS Amazon Quick View Actually Show?

This is the question none of the top-ranking pages answer clearly. Here's what the extension does in practice.

On Amazon Search Results and Bestseller Pages

When you run a search on amazon.com, the extension overlays each product listing with Amazon sales rank (BSR) and seller information — inline, without any extra clicks. Researchers commonly report this saves meaningful time when scanning dozens of products on a single page.

On the Hover Overlay

Hover your cursor over any product image and a quick view panel appears with fuller product details. The intent is to surface enough information — price, rank, seller data — for a go/no-go decision without loading the product page.

What's often overlooked is how much this changes the research workflow. Instead of tab-hopping between 20 product pages, you stay on one page and move faster.

Who Is DS Amazon Quick View For?

Softonic's listing calls this a tool for "Amazon shoppers." That's technically true but misses the point. In practice, the people who install this extension are mostly:

• Online arbitrage sellers looking to quickly assess BSR and competition on search pages
• Amazon wholesale researchers scanning categories for viable products
• Dropshippers doing preliminary product checks
• General product researchers who want faster browsing without opening every listing

Casual shoppers can use it, but the workflow it enables is far more aligned with product sourcing than everyday buying. That makes sense given the scale of independent selling on the platform — according to data from Statista, third-party sellers now account for over 60 percent of all paid units on Amazon, a pool of merchants who need faster research tools.

How to Install and Use DS Amazon Quick View

All three top-ranking pages skip this entirely. Here's a straightforward walkthrough.

Installation

1. Open the Chrome Web Store and search for "DS Amazon Quick View"
2. Click Add to Chrome
3. Confirm the permissions prompt
4. The extension installs and activates — no account or login required

Using It

• Go to amazon.com (not .co.uk, .in, or other domains — see limitations below)
• Run any product search or navigate to a bestseller page
• BSR and seller data will appear inline on each product card
• Hover over any product image to trigger the full quick view panel

That's it. There's no dashboard to set up. In practice, most users find it functional immediately after install. Much like troubleshooting any browser extension, if the overlay doesn't appear, a quick reinstall or version update usually resolves it.

Free Version vs. Extended (Paid) Version

This distinction is buried in the Chrome Web Store description and never properly explained elsewhere.

Feature	Free Version	Extended / Paid Version
Works on amazon.com	Yes	Yes
Works on other Amazon domains (.co.uk, .in, etc.)	No	Yes
Active bug fixes and updates	Limited	Included
Direct developer support	No	Yes (via email)

If you only sell or research on amazon.com, the free version is sufficient for basic use. If you work across multiple Amazon marketplaces, the paid version is the practical option — the developer explicitly states bug support for the free version is not actively maintained through the Web Store.

Known Limitations

Worth knowing before you install:

• US Amazon only (free version): The free extension is hardcoded to amazon.com. Other regional domains won't trigger it.
• Bug support gap: The developer's own listing notes that free-tier bug reports don't receive Web Store notifications. Support channels route to the paid version.
• Google Analytics tracking: The extension collects usage statistics via Google Analytics. An opt-out link is provided in the privacy policy. This is a standard practice among extension developers — as reported by TechCrunch, Google now requires Chrome extension developers to disclose exactly what data they collect and limit it strictly to what their core functionality needs.
• Chrome sync: If you have Chrome sync enabled, some extension settings may sync across your browser installations via Google's servers.

None of these are dealbreakers for most users, but they're worth knowing upfront.

DS Amazon Quick View vs. Seller Assistant Quick View

Seller Assistant lists DS Amazon Quick View as an alternative on its own site — which is a clear signal these tools address overlapping needs. Here's a straightforward comparison based on confirmed features from both.

Feature	DS Amazon Quick View	Seller Assistant Quick View
Price	Free (basic)	Paid subscription
BSR display on search pages	Yes	Yes
ASIN display	Not confirmed	Yes
FBA / FBM seller count	Not confirmed	Yes
IP-Alert integration	No	Yes
Custom notes on products	No	Yes
Eligibility to sell check	No	Yes
Standalone extension	Yes	Part of larger toolset
Browser support	Chrome only (free)	Chrome, Edge, Firefox

DS Amazon Quick View is simpler and free. Seller Assistant's Quick View is part of a broader paid platform and surfaces more seller-specific data. Which one makes sense depends on how deep your research workflow goes.

Conclusion

DS Amazon Quick View is a lightweight, free Chrome extension that adds BSR and seller data to Amazon search pages and enables hover-based product previews. It works well for quick research on amazon.com, but has a hard limit on non-US marketplaces in its free form.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does DS Amazon Quick View work on Amazon marketplaces outside the US?

Not in the free version. The extension works exclusively on amazon.com. For other regional Amazon domains, the paid extended version is required.

Is DS Amazon Quick View safe to use?

The developer has disclosed that data is not sold or transferred to third parties. The extension uses Google Analytics for usage tracking. Third-party scans (including VirusTotal) have returned clean results.

Is there a Firefox or Edge version?

No. The free DS Amazon Quick View extension is Chrome-only. Firefox and Edge users would need to consider alternatives such as Seller Assistant, which supports both browsers.

Why does the free version direct bug support to the paid version?

The developer states that the Chrome Web Store does not send notifications for bug reports submitted there. Active support and bug fixes are maintained through the paid version only.

How is DS Amazon Quick View different from Seller Assistant's Quick View?

DS Amazon Quick View is a standalone free tool focused on BSR and basic seller data. Seller Assistant's Quick View is one feature within a paid platform that adds FBA/FBM counts, IP alerts, eligibility checks, and custom notes.
