I guess saying "especially from Amazon" was pointless because, now that you've pointed that out, I definitely don't feel any better about them :)

To me, not having to hit the home button, swipe, enter pin, find app, tap app, wait for an animation all before I can do anything the app is supposed to do, and then have to do most of that all over again if I don't touch it for a minute, is an excellent reason for a purpose-built device. Also, fucking buttons. I love buttons. Touch screens are awful.

Plugins make my skin crawl, especially one from Amazon :) uBO is the only add-on I make an exception for.

Focus is probably the best option on iOS but I don't trust Mozilla to block tracking the way I want it done, I'm far more comfortable with uBlock Origin handling it. If I want the extra protection of deleting my cookies and history on exit I'd rather just start a private tab. Most of the time, I want to stay logged in on sites.

Also, EFF is on option for smile.amazon.com. I've generated $9 for them so far, would have been more if I had remembered to use smile more often. Amazon is nice enough to remind me once in a while to use it, I wish it would just be automatic when I'm logged in, I refuse to install a plug in for that feature.

If you're on Android I very highly recommend using Firefox with uBlock Origin.
