Long time user here, great extension. succesfully removes amazon referral tags that are found everywhere these days.

Invaluable little extension. Too many cookie hackers out there like Honey that changes everything to their code. This extension is simple and very functional. And now it's upgrade for Chrome's manifest v3 so it works great again!
