Even ancient Waterfox Classic works.

As Safari works, the problem is a Google Chrome setting or plug-in.
I agree that it is probably a setting. Tracking it down might be tricky since amazon frequently tests web updates on subsets of customers without notification.

chromium also sends information to google. I use a chromium fork that has those sections of code removed or blocked from execution. When I enable to setting "to always ask" where to store downloads, "download for transfer over USB" fails even though a "success" message is displayed and no dialog appears to chooose a download. If I change the setting to automatically save D&T works. Until some months or maybe a yyear ago the "always ask" worked fine.
