[Neat URL] Amazon links not cleaned

[woctezuma]

I don't know if it is intended, but Amazon links are not cleaned. I have noticed this behavior by testing the links shown on a similar addon page: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/link-cleaner/

I don't care about skipping redirections, because I use another more general addon, which is not limited to Facebook, Steam and Reddit. However, I wonder whether there is a good reason not clean Amazon URLs. Maybe it interferes with the shopping process? I remember I tested Link Cleaner earlier this year and thought that the addon was too brutal and would break some websites.

Hi. Thanks for opening an issue about https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Type-C-USB-Male-Cable/dp/B01GGKYQ02/ref=sr_1_1%3Fs=amazonbasics&srs=10112675011&ie=UTF8&qid=1489067885&sr=8-1&keywords=usb-c

I actually do a check before stripping all parameters off to prevent breaking certain URLs.

Could you provide me with the following information?

• The version of Neat URL you're using
• The parameters that are visible in the options
• Which Firefox version and operating system

When I click on your link, the addon works.

The link becomes this URL.

But if I click on the link shown on Link Cleaner homepage, it does not...

The only difference which I can spot between the two links is that the link which is cleaned has %3F and the one which does not has ? instead.

Is there any update? I'm having this issue too.

There will be an update this weekend which fixes these issues on Amazon product pages.
