It does open a new tab, but closes down almost immediately. One more tidbit, it only happens in Chrome on my laptop (MacBook Pro). Chrome on my iPad amazon links work fine.

I use Adblock. I just disabled it and tried an Amazon link to help you diagnose the problem. Same deal, and new tab opens and immediately closes.

so weird, I don't know why i can't replicate it other than I am in Canada which likely alters things in ways I can't begin to understand.

Here's an odd one.... I run both adblock and adblock plus. I disabled them and tried the amazon link and it worked perfect. I then when back and reenabled both, still working perfect. Can no longer replicate.

I am running Chrome on a laptop with Windows 11 Pro. The Amazon links were opening in a new tab and closing immediately for me as well. I simply right clicked the Amazon link and chose "Copy link address". Then I pasted the address in a new tab and it opened fine. That works for me so I am not worrying about it any more.

BTW, I use Adblock Plus if that matters.

Very certain it's tied to Adblock for me. Tried it again this morning after a reboot. Amazon "new tab" kept closing. Disabled adblock, again worked perfect. I'll just copy and paste rather than disabling for the site.

it appears for people in the US, there is a page that loads in-between HDF and Amazon and this is wreaking havoc with ad blockers. I'm not sure this is something we can fix I'm afraid.
