These are effectively 1st party ads since you're on Amazon, the world's largest retailer. µBO Hard Mode will give you the cleanest page FWIW.

@SumTingWong

Amozon is the 3rd largest advertising and tracking network in the world in terms of traffic on its own website

It is as @oldschool says first-party ads and server side tracking. It is the largest on-line retailer (with AliBabi) in the world. They can always track you when you log-in. Blocking first party advertisements and server side trackers could also prevent you from getting deals and discounts or break something in the pay & purchase flow of events.

You could add the first line of the picture below to your My Filters and check whether you have My Filters enabled in My Filterlists.

If i add this to element picker, will it block this Amazon sponsored ads track me?

When you log-in to a website, you agree to the terms and conditions and you will be tracked by storing cookies in your browser and often a 1 pixel picture on the server of that website.

Element picker hides stuff, does not block it. Hard mode blocks third-party not stuff from that website itself (first-party), so no

Reddit users are usually less informed than forum members, developers, etc. Reddit is like very young kids on a playground or sandbox vs. adults having a discussion. It's the last place one would look for reliable info, in most cases.

I know this is not what you've asked for, as it's not a uBo filter. But I was having the same issue; unable to come up with a uBo filter that worked. I was, however, able to find a tampereymonkey script that works perfectly. See it here. I hope that helps.

Along with that, "amazon.com##.s-sponsored-result-item" seems to get blocks also.

Just add the line to your "My filters" section in uBo.

Digging up the topic:

amazon.com##.s-featured-result-item

won't free up the space.

amazon.com##.sg-col-inner > * > * :has-text(Sponsored)

will.


P.S.: Yes, registered just to write that.
