Breaks Amazon Pages #9

Closed UPSKingpin closed 9 months ago

UPSKingpin commented 10 months ago

Seems to break a ton of Amazon pages. When browsing the home page or category pages, clicking a selection results in a "Page not found" for hundreds of links. Seems they changed some URL formatting at some point, because there was no issue with the extension for a long time.

Thanks for the report. Would you be able to provide some example links and what the new good, clean links should be? I haven't had much time to actively maintain this script so any help would be appreciated.

Absolutely, glad to help.

Currently on the home page, there's an option "Shop branded gift cards" in the featured area. Clicking it with the script enabled sends me to the following page: https://www.amazon.com/b?node=14485264011&pf_rd_r=B6ESEAEACQ9Q2K58ARN6&pf_rd_p=037aa4b6-2ea7-4596-af82-19108a56134b&pd_rd_r=3cd6c3cd-5cc9-4a5c-a100-e40b24a185be&pd_rd_w=BGMk7&pd_rd_wg=FasaQ&ref_=pd_gw_unk

When I turn off the script and reload the home page, then try again, I am directed to this page: https://www.amazon.com/b?node=14485264011&ref=US_T5_23_BFCM_GW_AdTopper_EN&pd_rd_w=dGIVy&content-id=amzn1.sym.037aa4b6-2ea7-4596-af82-19108a56134b&pf_rd_p=037aa4b6-2ea7-4596-af82-19108a56134b&pf_rd_r=JB82YFMTK9770RGCXX2C&pd_rd_wg=z3U5A&pd_rd_r=b4d6831c-42a9-4c52-ab42-c8f5fa2e1f03

Does that help? Let me know if you'd like some more examples. Basically, if you start browsing by category instead of just searching, you'll end up with the same issue clicking through categories.

Does the issue still occur for you? I can't seem to be able to replicate it. I am testing in a clean Firefox profile with no extensions running other than this script.

It is, unfortunately. I'm running Chrome and just tried it in a bare incognito window with only this script running. I manually navigated to All > Clothing > Men, which brought me here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?node=7147441011

But when I click on Shoes or any other option at the top of that page, I get a "Sorry, we couldn't find that page" at https://www.amazon.com/b/ref=hol23_ml1_mob_nav_fgg_3?pf_rd_p=4ece5337-87a0-4792-abc8-66f6523e2a3apf_rd_s=merchandised-search-3pf_rd_i=7147441011node=679255011

That helped, thanks! I just published an update that I think should fix the issue.
