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?

    Is that feature default for vanilla firefox? Or do you need to go fiddle in settings to turn that on

      Vanilla.

      The only reason I didn’t mention it is because it’s for copying links, whereas the extension should do it while opening, without needing to copy it first.

        Thats a level of convenience that will probably get me to grab the extension, but Im glad firefox has that as a feature anyway
