Yes, but I keep an Amazon tab open in my browser at all times, and I've 
changed that to smile. instead of www. so all links followed from there 
will be smiley.  Also, bookmarks have been altered to suit.

It only remains to be seen what percentage of items are smiley. 
Encouraging to discover that of nearly 100 items in my wishlist, in a 
broad range of categories, the vast majority were smiley.  (Only 4 items 
were not.)  Smiley items include Amazon Prime items as well as items 
shipped from and sold by non-Amazon vendors.
