How do Amazon links doxx you? Would like to know for safety.

If I linked to the page from my browser, the page would've shown the banner across the top that says "Hi My Name!" and other features of my Amazon account. Not sure if that happens to everyone or just Prime members.

There's a good chance it wouldn't - you can open an incognito window and link it there to test it.

Yes, thank you. It's just that in all my browsers and on all my devices, I get signed onto Amazon automatically. I did try to get around it and to test it by signing out and using a private window when I first started this thread... but whatever route I attempted, seems my name and details still showed up in the banner at the top. So I decided not to take the risk.

At the same time, I didn't try all that hard to go incognito coz it's convenient for me to be always automatically signed-in to Amazon.

Anyways, after a couple of tries I gave up and just decided to start the thread without providing a link. After all, anyone can go and see the Amazon best sellers themselves. It's not like this is info kept behind a paywall or is hard to find.
