When attempting to follow links from the The WireCutter, the extension causes the page to redirect to https://smile.amazon.com/?sa-no-redirect=1 .
I initially thought it might have something to do with the redirect chain that Wirecutter uses. However, parsing through the DevTools network log revealed it to be an issue with the final Amazon URL instead.
Trial & error points to the problematic parameter being the affiliate ID (tag=thewire06-20). If the extension could be tweaked handle such instances, that'd be great.
Giving the user the option to select whether it handles it by removing the affiliate ID or simply not forward to smile.amazon would be the optimal solution.
