The latest version of Better Amazon includes the author's Amazon referral link imbedded in every shortcut. You can find that in the function "udlks" at line 381, seen here:
function udlks() {
var lkl='aetive', lkn='1',lkc='1789';
switch(location.host.slice(location.host.lastIndexOf('.'))) {
case '.ca': lkc='15121'; lkl = 'aetiva'; lkn = '0'; break;
case '.de': lkc='1638'; break;
case '.fr': lkc='1642'; lkl = 'eativa'; break;
case '.it': lkc='3370'; lkl = 'aative'; break;
case '.jp': lkc='247'; lkl = 'aative'; lkn = '2'; break;
case '.uk': lkc='1634'; lkl = 'aetiva'; break;
default: lkn = '0'; break; }
var alks = document.links;
var host="http://" + location.host + "/gp/product/";
var sup="?ie=UTF8&ta"+"g=cr"+lkl+"-2"+lkn+"&linkC"+"ode=xm2&ca"+"mp="+lkc+"&creativeASIN=";
for (var n= alks.length; n--; ) {
link = alks[n];
if (link.host.match(/amazon/) && link.hash==="")
{ var asin = getASIN(link.href);
if (asin) { link.href = host+asin+sup+asin; }}}
return 0;
}
This wouldn't bother me if the author disclosed that he was doing it and/or I didn't use AffiliateFox to generate my own referral links to share with friends. This script freezes the browser constantly as the two compete for link generation.
Don't support sneaky coding! Delete or modify that block to remove the referral portions.
The following block will safely fix everything and produce nice, clean, sharable links. Replace the derps with your own tags if desired, else remove the tag=DERPDERPDERP portion entirely.
function udlks() {
var lkl='DERPDERPDERP', lkn='##DERPS';
switch(location.host.slice(location.host.lastIndexOf('.'))) {
default: lkl = 'DERPDERPDERP'; lkn = '##DERP'; break; }
var alks = document.links;
var host="http://" + location.host + "/gp/product/";
var sup="?ie=UTF8&tag="+lkl+"-"+lkn+"&creativeASIN=";
for (var n= alks.length; n--; ) {
link = alks[n];
if (link.host.match(/amazon/) && link.hash==="")
{ var asin = getASIN(link.href);
if (asin) { link.href = host+asin+sup+asin; }}}
return 0;
}
Support honest, and only honest, referrals!

Now I have to click to expand everything. More clicks = less efficient. Make each section expanded by default, collapsible on click.
Working wonderfully on Amazon.co.uk for me.
Thank you!
what is the number next to the item? It's in green for example... That's my only question. Otherwise excellent script!
Works exactly as described. Tested in Opera v11.
The script works great and really add usability and readability to product pages. Works well with amazon.fr pages, too.
It actually works!
This script is fantastic! Amazon has become a usability nightmare over the years -- the amount of clutter on the pages was driving me insane until I found this script.
99% of the time, I just want to read the reviews at Amazon while researching whether or not to buy something -- everything else on the page just gets in the way and adds needless clutter.
The only thing that would make this script even more perfect is if it would remove all reference of the Kindle from my searches and page results. I don't own a kindle and have absolutely zero intention of buying one; it annoys me that I have to waste time mentally filtering it out.
Thanks for this wonderful script, mate!
