Details
| Extension name | Affiliate Redirecting Add-ons |
| Extension versions affected | <all versions> |
| Platforms affected | <all platforms> |
| Block severity | hard |
Reason
These add-on's violate the monetization section of the add-on policy. While navigating sites such as newegg.com these add-on's will open an affiliate link with out user action other than browsing the site . There is some attribution on the lower left of the tab that is created with an affiliate link. But the mechanism that just opens a tab while i'm navigating a site without me clicking on an element identified by these extensions is against the extension policy. It is very similar to a previous bug report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1597784. Let me know if you need more information.

I’ve reviewed the add-ons and confirmed they are collecting ancillary user data against our policies.

(In reply to Andreas Wagner [:TheOne] [use NI] from comment #2)
I’ve reviewed the add-ons and confirmed they are collecting ancillary user data against our policies.
I can see that this is opening a new tab without user interaction but I could not see it collecting ancillary user data against our policies.
@Andreas Wagner, could you please help me understand.
Don't get me wrong, I am not defending this kind of behaviour.
