[QUOTE="forgottenuser79643, post: 942490, member: 88069"] If you're using Firefox, which most of these guide authors do, you can disable ping in [ICODE]about:preferences[/ICODE]. Simply set: [LIST] [*][hyperlink auditing/ping] [ICODE]'browser.send_pings[/ICODE] to 'false', [*][for CSP reports] [ICODE]security.csp.enabled[/ICODE] to 'false', [*][for beacon api] [ICODE]beacon.enabled[/ICODE] to 'false'. [/LIST] And that is 90% of all guides regarding 'for ordinary'-users or "preferred" browser preferences in Firefox guides. And no need for extensions for those specific things for Firefox users. Note: That setting [ICODE]browser.send_pings[/ICODE] is set to 'false' by default in Firefox, but it can't hurt to double-check in case you accidentally had it changed. Now to test whether the browser picks up the setting with any website like [URL='https://webbrowsertools.com/privacy-test/']Browser Privacy Test[/URL] or [URL='https://armin.dev/apps/ping-spotter/']Ping Spotter[/URL] or whatever else is out there.
