Info

Are you tired that each banner or ad linking to amazon is silently injecting their affiliate tracking ID and receive a small revenue of what you bought? And more importantly they know what you bought? (even if it's not directly linked, it's still possible to de-anonymize the data)
This extension removes the tracking ID before the browser is performing the request, ensuring that you are not being tracked.

Note: if you have a partner cookie on your computer, you might still be tracked
