Domain normalisation is corrupting

I am in the UK. I happen to have used amazon UK enough recently that it gets into the top-8 history in the address bar on a new tab.

And then the Amazon sponsorship – which is turned off in settings – corrupts it and "normalises" it to reference amazon.com. Screenshot attached with the misalignment highlighted.

Of what possible use is it to surface a top recently-used site when the address gets corrupted so it does not point to the site that has been used? This is idiotic.

Hint. When sponsored sites are turned off, respect that choice. Do not allow them to corrupt the experience. And even if it weren't a corruption introduced at Amazon's behest, domain normalisation is absurd when the site in question is geographically distinct. There is no possible excuse for it.
