I've been feeling like the frog in a pot of heating water for a long time now, but there are problems with shopping on amazon.com beyond the ads.

A few weeks ago the site became unusable with third party cookies blocked, even as web browsers are moving toward third party cookies blocked by default.

And you can't completely avoid third party vendors by only buying "sold and shipped by amazon.com". Many items are both sold by amazon and sold by other vendors but fullfilled by amazon. amazon does not keep track of such items sent to them by these other vendors, so if such an item is counterfeit it could be sent to you even if you bought it from an honest vendor or amazon itself.
