Latest Firefox rolls out Enhanced Tracking Protect...
it seems the objection is to unearned affiliate revenue (for any purchases at amazon for some period just for visiting wirecutter), not earned affiliate revenue (by clicking on a product you intend to buy), which is consistent and fair.

What you described sounds like cookie stuffing and is almost certainly prohibited by Amazon and any competently run affiliate network/program.

From what the OP said I don't think that's the case. They're specifically talking about clicking on links not working.

i read it as links between pages on wirecutter, not out (i haven't tested if theres actually an interstitial affiliate marker page though).
