But what to do about them JavaScript disabling varmints then?
- JimDabell 5y agoThat’s what hyperlink auditing with the ping attribute is for: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/links.html#hyperlink-auditing https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/links.html#hyperlink-... You put a `ping` attribute on a link, and when the user follows the link, the browser sends a request to the ping URL notifying it of the action. Firefox disables it by default, which doesn’t seem like much of a privacy win considering JavaScript is enabled by default and can polyfill this functionality.
