Is there some add-on from Amazon for Safari?

I received the following message today...I have not followed the link because I have no clue what Amazon is talking about. I checked it with Snopes.com & found nothing, but thought I'd check here before doing anything. I do have an account with Amazon.com & I ordered something last night, but I do not have anything in a wishlist.


Thanks for your input. Linda

Hello,


We're contacting you about the "Add to Amazon Wish List" add-on for your Safari browser. Your add-on may have ceased to function, or will likely stop working soon. You may have already seen an error message indicating this.


Please re-install the add-on. The latest version can be found here when viewing with your Safari browser:

We're sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.


Installing the latest version will have no impact on your Wish List(s) and will allow you to continue adding items from any website to your Amazon Wish List or Registry.


We look forward to seeing you again soon.


Sincerely,



Customer Service

Yeah, there is one. Myself, I would not load it on. Just one more way to track you, IMHO.


Here's some info on it:

Hi Bee!


Actually it seems fairly innocuous. I have had it installed since November when looking for presents for the grandchildren, and it is quite useful.


As for tracking, it doesn't conflict with Ghostery!
