> scraping the prices and availability is still scraping
Web browsing is scraping, too.
I am not doing anything that I myself wouldn't do, it would just take me longer. I'm not mass-scraping, training new models, etc etc. I'm just using a helper tool to do some work for me.
If you prevent that, you are effectively saying: humans have to perform the manual labor of clicking and browsing through our site, they are not allowed to be helped in any way. I don't think this is the right answer.
