last few days when I click my Amazon shortcut on the browser home page, I get this message: "The link you clicked on is malformed. Contact the editor of the originating page." in address box I see "https://ringconn.pxf.io/c/4061861/1739782/20222?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fhaul%2Fstore%3Fref_%3Dnav_cs_hul_disb&subId1=dDxAnnV5WxaO"
I've reinstalled Opera. other sites work fine. this does not occur in Brave browser.
any ideas? is this an Opera issue at all?

Getting the same error in opera one. I can get to amazon saved links, but any click on the site redirects to https://ringconn.pxf.io error.

Anyone knows a solution?

Opera One version: 120.0.5543.161

@Jorgelpoga When you hover the link, which address does it shpw?

There are two obvious possibilities, either it is something Amazon is doing or there is an extension redirecting the links. Then the actual problem, either ringconn isn't working the way it should be or ... well, no, the message is from ringconn so it isn't being blocked..

Okay, then I'll guess it is an extension, most likely the Continue Shopping extension. Does it work properly if you turn that feature off in Settings? Or do you both use some other Amazon/shopping related extension which might be the cause?

@sgunhouse TY
I disabled Continue Shopping in Settings. No change. Still get the error message.

@leocg So then it's an Amazon thing, not an Opera theng.

If they are using a script, you may be able to right-click Open the links (it will bypass "on click" scripts if you use the context menu). Otherwise you need to wait for Amazon to fix it.

@sgunhouse I mean that clicking on the link in the first post results on that message, no matter the browser.

When I tried to access amazon.com, I was redirected to the local Amazon page.

@jimjinnj It was a shortcut that you've created? Or it was one that comes with Opera?

@leocg no shortcut. I am clicking links directly on Amazon, e.g, a pair of shoes. but not all links result in the odd message. some work.

@sgunhouse I just clicked "amazon basics" link on the landing page. I got the error again. however, if I right click, choose "open in link new page" it goes through.
so I am agreeding with someone here that it is a amazon issue.
I will let it go and see what happens. thanks for all the help and isdeas, folks.

@jimjinnj Not Amazon unless it only happens while logged in - some extension though still using "on click" script. I have no account on Amazon, if I go to the front page the links work fine. So ... no other obvious Amazon or Shopping extensions?

@leocg A malformed link will still be malformed in a different browser, it's like clicking a link to an error message.
