I'd rather avoid that; sending fingerprintable information to random websites linked from e.g. a search result page or an article seems like a great way to unnecessarily expose myself to being tracked and abused in all kinds of ways.
- kuschku 8y agoProviding a <a href="..." prefetch> wouldn't give any tracking capability that <iframe ...> doesn't already give.
- charleslmunger 8y agoThat's true, but I don't know of anyone who does link previews via iframe.
