This is Oliver Roup, CEO of VigLink. Merchants generally offer affiliate programs to encourage the creation of content discussing their products or the development of services where such content tends to develop.
Extensions like this one have neither of these characteristics and instead are seen as a "tax" by the merchants - they drive up costs without any benefit. This is of course not welcomed by the merchants and as a result, VigLink does not permit this type of use of our service.
The account this extension references was terminated quote some time ago, not long after we discovered it. Although the extension continues to insert our code (we cannot prevent it) we do not affiliate any clicks on the account and the extension owner is making no money through VigLink.
