    Amazon fucking sucks for me now. Every fucking purchase (which is getting rare and rarer) I get asked to join prime.

    There is no “don’t ask me again”. Every fucking time I have to select “Not now”.

    I’ve come close to writing a plugin to help you skip these ads.

      a few ublock rules would probably do the job. it’s possible to even run premade scriptlets to fix up a website

        I looked into uBlock rules. The problem is that you need to click “No” before continuing. Ublock can block the ad, sure, but they can’t perform user actions.

        Scriptlets may be useful but I think an addon with a library of bypasses (sort of like sponsor block) might be better.

    I barely use Amazon, it’s just 90% AliExpress stock at huge markup anyway, plus more importantly they’re evil. I do seem to have prime though, which I use to order something maybe every other month when it’s urgent for work. Thing is I’m not signed up for prime, it just activated when I linked an audible account to my business account years ago. I do use audible, to the limit of the credits anyway. So I’ve been kinda torn for ages and can’t bring myself to cancel as my old audible subscription seems to be giving me prime somehow for much less than prime is to sign up.

    I just convince myself I’m playing the system…
