On the toolbar, the Shop at Amazon and Shop on eBay buttons will appear on the toolbar after you visit the associated website. They generate a small amount. I don't know if it is per click or just having them in the browser. And I don't know how much.
There is a "log" of some sort that tracks that they have been sent to the toolbar, and they are supposed to only show up the one time. And, then you would either leave the icon there or adjust the toolbar to send them away.
On some of the major updates, and if you uninstall everything and then re-install during troubleshooting, they will appear again the next time you hit one of those websites.
Also, I think there may be some advertisement on the Slimjet website, but I've not really paid attention to that.

A feechur which is easy to turn off on the level of the individual button.On the toolbar, the Shop at Amazon and Shop on eBay buttons will appear on the toolbar after you visit the associated website.

Total avoidance of Facebook in particular is an absolute necessity of good security.

Imagine Slimjet search must help a bit too?
Ebay icon doesn't bother me much.
If it helps any to leave it there, so be it.
Facebook off for sure!

In fact, everything is banally simple. The first is advertising on the site. Most likely, this is where they make the most profit. I recently read about fintech solutions, found https://dashdevs.com/ for this. I think you can learn a lot there. Most likely, if someone wants to create a website for a business, they need to ask for help. Since at first it will be difficult to create income.
