Remove Amazon "Add to Cart" popup banner

[plkwas]

About two months ago, Amazon instituted a "feature" for an unlucky randomly selected subset -- a.k.a. guinea pigs -- of its customers.

As you scroll down a product page, a wide banner appears at the top containing an Add to Cart button. There is no way to close this banner. It disappears only when you scroll back up to the top. I find it quite annoying, and I know that a number of other people do also.

Amazon has been completely unresponsive to complaints about it.

AddBlock does not faze it, but using NoScript to disable the scripts on Amazon does get rid of it.

I wondered if there might be a more selective way to keep the banner from popping up than disabling all the scripts.

Thank you for your help.

Screenshot & URL of the page where you see this?

You might have more luck with Adblock Plus if you install the Element Hiding Helper addon too, and use it to create a custom rule.

Otherwise, you could possibly block this with ABE, but you'd first have to identify the exact script file that you need to block. The JSView addon might help.

Thank you both for your help.

A couple of days ago, I could've easily supplied a screenshot and a URL, but something strange has happened. Even when I allow scripts with NoScript, most of the pages act as if scripts are still turned off. The exception is the pages concerning my account which are behaving as if scripts are allowed.

This has persisted through a couple of rebootings, and a clearing of cookies and cache.

Is it possible that Amazon did respond to my bitching and fixed things so that I would not get the banner? If that is the case, I am gratified that they did take my complaint seriously, but I wonder if that was really the best way to remove the banner?

No idea what Amazon does...

If the problem persists, please let us know.
