Imagine unironically using this sjw botnet

>Earlier this month, we covered how Google Chrome, Opera, Microsoft Edge, and Safari enabled hyperlink auditing pings by default.

Librefox is a drag and drop solution that fixes this and many other things. Imagine bending over to chrome based browsers that don't even have an option to disable tracking this easily :)

>A HTML standard called hyperlink auditing that allows sites to track link clicks is enabled by default on Safari, Chrome, Opera, and Microsoft Edge, but will soon have no way to disable it. As it is considered a privacy risk, browsers previously allowed you to disable this feature. Now they are going in the opposite direction.

It's a fucking HTML standard and Firefox will be the only major browser that that's you have control of disabling it. Fuck you OP, you fucking retard.

>When we asked if they felt that users should at least be given the ability to disable the feature if they wish, Mozilla stated that they did not believe it would have any "meaningful improvement" to a user's privacy.

double retard

Also, pic related.

Is this how fags cope about peer pressure (or whatever is keeping you on Chromium and its reskins)? Firefox is shit, but it's still ahead of everything else. That being said, everyone making these decisions and standards needs a year or two in the gulag. Or maybe in a panopticon, being rolled ads 24/7.

>Just turning off the Ping attribute or the Beacon API doesn’t solve the privacy implications of link click analytics. Instead, it creates an incentive for websites to adopt tracking techniques that hurt the user experience. In effect, the choice between supporting Ping and not is not one of privacy, rather it is a choice between a good user experience and a bad one.

Ublock origin disables this by default.

Oh no, I'll have to install a userscript that consists of 5 lines that scrubs the ping attribute from hyperlinks, the horror :(

see
You can still disable it in Firefox itself, unlike Chrome, Opera, Safari, or Edge.

how so?

it's literally in the settings page...

based, thanks a lot user.

Google is as SJW as Mozilla

So disable it faggot.

why do people still give money to sjwzilla? trannyfox is long dead, let it go. maybe sometime in the future the phoenix that it once were rises again.

>they're going to track you anyway, so we might as well give them more ways to do it

>it creates an incentive for websites to adopt tracking techniques that hurt the user experience
Good! Make the tracking really hurt

That's not what they're saying at all retard.

Someone already did it.

Who doesn't already use ublock origin?
You can just disable it in about:config anyways. No need for a script.

>this site doesn't support your browser, install chrome

>Who doesn't already use ublock origin?
I don't think UO works on mobile.

>You can just disable it in about:config anyways
If you use FF, yes. In Google Chrome, Opera, Microsoft Edge & Safari apparently you can't.

>I don't think UO works on mobile.
There's is a screenshot of ubo on mobile in this thread! >If you use FF, yes. In Google Chrome, Opera, Microsoft Edge & Safari apparently you can't.
Yeah, that's those retards problem for using a browser with no user control.

They say that sites will still track you, but other methods would hurt the """"""user experience""""". That's no reason to allow even more options for tracking.

>Just turning off the Ping attribute or the Beacon API doesn’t solve the privacy implications of link click analytics.

>firefox enables ping tracking by default
just turn it off
>brave has some ad system that is off by default and you have to opt in
reeeeeeee, literal nazi botnet

NANIII???
All this time I figured every mobile browser wouldn't have extension support because Chrome didn't. Wow, time to ditch that shit.

>eventually you will get sick and die anyway. Instead, creating medicine will just let us live long enough to experience incurable diseases like cancer. In effect, the choice between medicine and no medicing is not one of health, rather it is a choice between an early death and a late one.

Says the company trying to force you to use it, without any supporting evidence other than "they still track you tho".

They're both literal botnets (like all other popular modern web browsers) and the majority of Jow Forums says this again and again and again.

why don't you look it up yourself?

>Trust me, it's fine that we're forcing you to accept even more tracking options. It's actually better for you this way.
>What? No I don't need to support that argument. Look it up yourself.

>chooses to be ignorant by not doing his own research
your choice

>js script tracking that can ve killed with no scropt
vs
>html standard created exactly to prevent users from easily dissabling tracking
Fuck you idiot.
