Your description of Sage's "affiliate" behaviour doesn't quite match the description on addons.mozilla.org -- nor my experience.

addons.mozilla.org mentions

adding affiliate tags to certain links in feed content that it renders

(my emphasis) which I read as modifying existing links, whereas the article says it

insert[s] "affiliate" links into feed content that points toward certain online merchants

which I read as adding new links to existing text.

I've never seen behaviour matching the latter description -- for example, merely mentioning amazon.com won't turn it into a link.
