BleepingComputer reportsthat browser developers are removing the ability to disable "ping="click tracking. "Google Chrome also enables this tracking feature bydefault, but in the current Chrome 73 version it includes a 'Hyperlinkauditing' flag that can be used to disable it from the chrome://flags URL.In the Chrome 74 Beta and Chrome 75 Canary builds, though, this flag hasbeen removed and there is no way to disable hyperlink auditing."Firefox still allows this "feature" to be disabled (and disables it bydefault).
