## 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**

## Features

- Visual feedback which tag was removed

- Works on starting parameter (?tag) and appended parameter (&tag)

- Support for ascsubtags

- Full support for all amazon sites (e.g. from Germany, Mexico or UK to China and Italy)

  - amazn.to links are supported, too, since the expanded request to the amazon site is intercepted

## Changelog

Please visit [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) for a complete changelog.

2. Run `npm install`
