[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 887319, member: 82776"] I think that is an obsolete setting of uBlockOrigin from something of the past. Short answer 1. It is not necessary anymore (improved privacy and security mitigations in Chroimum browsers nowadays) 2. It is only half baked protection (does not block pre-loading) 3. Enjoy the benefits of pre-fetching and pre-loading and use this option in your browser Long answer addition Check whether your Chromium based browser still has: - [your browser][B]://flags/#prefetch-privacy-changes[/B] - [your browser][B]://flags #prefetch-main-resource-network-isolation-key [/B] Most likely your chromium variant has these flags enabled (or allready implemented). When you find the flags, you could still enable them for enhanced privacy. Since Google started to punish slow loading pages in SEO-ranking, most developers cleaned their websites. Opening the way for Google to further increase mitigations in relation to security which had a direct spin-of for privacy in regard to pre-fetching. [/QUOTE]
