I avoid those as soon as I notice the signs, but I've found less and less instances over time (which is a relief since there used to be loads of pages like that). I thought I read somewhere it's against Amazon's own rules to do this. Not 100% sure though.

I've found it can also be cheaper to place the order by phone than by an online ordering (middleman) service.
This is so true. Shareholders couldn't care less if he was popular with customers. All they care about is whether he can do anything to boost profits. In their world, even the situation with Unity can be spun as "innovative" (in the sense that it introduced another revenue stream for the company) and that even if this initial implementation is scrapped, it can be learned from and improved on for future ones.
Firefox's creators also have an optional Facebook Container add-on which will sandbox all Facebook cookies in their own Fb-only bubble, for those who still want to use it: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/facebook-container-prevent-facebook-tracking
There is a setting in Edge to stop it running in the background after it's closed (it shouldn't do that in the first place, but this is at least useful because if you don't turn off the web links in your Start menu search results, Edge can be triggered to open by accident from there and then continue to run in the BG after you close it).
Still on Windows 10 and I haven't noticed Edge running in the background on startup (and obviously I have it set not to do that in Windows). I'm guessing though that it's possible it might always be on if you use Cortana? I always have Cortana off too.
I feel like that would make me some edgy child, messing around with legos or playdough.
