on my browser...I am definitely stopping this habit these days as I no longer trust that Amazon isn't embedding tracking software or other in my system...I mostly use a Chromebook which is supposed to be more impervious to such stealthy invasions so there's that...we can never really know what Amazon or other mega corporations are doing behind the scenes but it's a start for me...
