uBlock origin is not block the ping attribute to reach back first party sites
Shameless plug.
I've read in many places that ublock is suppose to block ping from reaching back, but in every test, on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, I can see the ping hit back to my site. So I wrote fping for anyone that is interested.
People saying that ublock should work: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/bcdhd7/whats_the_deal_with_ping_attribute_in_a_tag/en6ld6j?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x

- kgwxd 8y agoDoesn't Firefox disable ping by default? Or did that quietly change?
- sastdast 8y agoThe next release will a) have it on by default and b) not allow you to disable if I'm reading their release notes correctly.
- gorhill 8y agoHyperlink auditing is disabled by default in uBlock Origin. The link you post to Reddit proves you wrong, a user shows you that no ping is fired with hyperlink auditing disabled in uBO. I just tried your test page[1], and all works as expected, there is no ping sent when hyperlink auditing is disabled in uBO. I can see the outgoing ping only when I don't disable hyperlink auditing in uBO. [1] https://jabbari.io/pingHTMLTest.html https://jabbari.io/pingHTMLTest.html
