Until they issue a patch you can just open the Amazon app from the home screen. It only does the affiliate nonsense when you launch it from the app list.
Also, you can disable the Smart Feed app. That apparently fixes it too.
Any chances to block that at DNS level with something like a pi hole or NextDNS ?
Sure, the domain is listed in the article. Most blocklists include affiliate and tracking passthrough domains already.
