I was looking into how to do this with chrome, here the my findings:

Setup
1. Settings Icon -> Options -> Under the section “default search” there is a “manage” button

2. Find “amazon.XXX” in the list
3. Press edit
4. Change the URL field according to the list for epiphany

Usage
1. type “amazon” (or probably just “a” or “am” or whatever) and it will look like:

2. Press tab
3. Type what you’re looking for
4. Profit

Canonical already uses themselves as a referrer. I don’t think they like giving up that revenue. We could try Fedora and Debian but why wouldn’t they choose to keep the money for their own organization.

I hope you keep posted these monthly reports if only to serve as a reminder to use the plugin. I just heard about this last month, so anything my company purchases through amazon I try to use the plug-in, but sometimes we forget.

Hi Jaap,

wonderful news!
Is it possible to ask Fedora/Debian/Cononical and Co. to include that plugin by default?
