Hardly

ad.doubleclick.net is one of the biggest ad servers on the internet. It
is where you get the banner ads from.

I can't say why the whole page gets redirected, normally it should be
just a single banner or popup ad. One idea is that it's the popup
blocker in konqueror that gets confused. Perhaps it tries to block the
popup served from doubleclick.net and some bug results in getting the
popup in the main browser window instead

konqueror has many bugs in its javascript implementation, so this
wouldn't be surprising.

Try going in to konqueror's settings and enable popups, and then go to
amazon.com again. My guess is you will get the amazon page, plus a popup
window
