Recently Amazon, I suppose their app, added a search item to my context menu, which is quite a nuisance. Other apps have as well, such as DeepL and Wikipedia, but I believe those have a valid use case without too much of a commercial interest. Is there a way to remove items from the context menu without removing the related app?

    Is there any benefit for using the app over the site? I stopped using Amazon, but when I did use, the site seemed to work just fine.

      Amazon Smile trades ad views for 1% of their proceeds to a non-profit of your choice (including the FSF, EFF, and more, though I think RMS would have a seizure accepting this money)

      Whole Foods gives you significant discounts on hot foods if you scan a QR code from the app (still expensive though).

      I don’t use these personally but I can totally see someone using them.
