The OP says that using right-click to copy a link to google.com gives instead a link like:
http: // api.viglink.com/api/click?key=8eb8c964d...
But I am not experiencing that with a right-click in either Safari/Mac OR FF/Mac. He mentions Safari not being a problem. I find that FF/Mac isn't either.
EDIT: Any chance that they have disarmed this after getting all the bad press (at least on HN)?
- dschoon 17y agoLooking at the code, the hooks are DOM listeners that intercept the click to do the redirect. They don't modify the anchor tag, so there's no reason anyone should see them on mouseover or right-click-copy.
