I do not want to be unfriendly; (but) i use firefox-bin (mozilla-compiled) and my only extension is uMatrix that i have been pointed to, and i can only recommend it highly to anyone (though the "modern" web mostly requires to turn off tracking protection and numerous white flags in uMatrix to work), maybe even to those who simply put their browser into a container. Anyhow, uMatrix gives you the following, and while i have not tried to selectively click me through to get to the target, i could have done so: streak.com www.streak.com cloudflare.com cdnjs.cloudflare.com d3e54v103j8qbb.cloudfront.net facebook.net connect.facebook.net google.com www.google.com ajax.googleapis.com storage.googleapis.com intercom.io widget.intercom.io licdn.com snap.licdn.com pdst.fm cdn.pdst.fm producthunt.com api.producthunt.com sentry-cdn.com js.sentry-cdn.com website-files.com assets.website-files.com assets-global.website-files.com google-analytics.com www.google-analytics.com googletagmanager.com www.googletagmanager.com Randomized links i find just terrible. IETF started using randomized archive links, which are mesmerising; most often mailman archive links give you a bit of orientation by themselves, isn't that more appealing. --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
