Lately I’ve noticed some mainstream sites injection tracking links into literally every link on their site.
When I hover over it, it shows the correct link at the bottom of my browser, but if I click it or copy it, it takes me to a hijacked tracker link.
Then I can’t even get the original link without having my activity tracked.
How do I get the original link that appears at the bottom of my browser?
NextDNS, Brave Browser, and I believe uBlock Origin has features to clean up the trackers and redirects from links.
Looks like it’s straight up through Firefox now a days: https://lemmy.world/post/8834978
Looks like its only for copy, not left-clicking to open it.
Also doesnt stop click-hijacking. If the Site encodes a url you cannot decode, you have to go through the site or, if the link is also visible as text, grab that.

uBlock requires you to enable an additional filter list I think (Privacy > AdGuard URL Tracking Protection)
