Major browsers to always enable hyperlink auditing

Post by barbaz »

Firefox will enable hyperlink auditing by default - https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/s ... y-default/

And other browsers are removing their option to disable it - https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/s ... vacy-risk/

Yet another reason to use uBlock Origin.
