New Update Ping Blocker - prevents sites from tracking the links you visit

[Paul.R]

Description
Ping Blocker is a browser extension that prevents sites from tracking the links you visit through hyperlink auditing.

The extension blocks ping requests sent in the background when you click on links. Beacon requests and CSP reports are also blocked.

Verify if ping requests are currently sent by your browser with Ping Spotter.

Good Morning everyone.
The holiday is finished.

It seems to me an extension not strictly necessary because UBO can do the same. (Without blocking the Beacon test.)

Surprised to verify that in Egypt Whatsapp video calls (Orange) are impossible to make.
Thank goodness that there are no problems with Instagram.

Hmm with this test "Ping Spotter", all 3 requests are blocked here, but I don't have this extension, sorry ...
CSP reports blocked by uBlock O., other two blocked by about:config in my Firefox fork, I think

All were blocked here on FF by ticking the box in uBO and changing the beacon setting in about:config to "false." I have visited several financial sites since then with no breakage at all. (Some financial sites legitimately use intrusive means, including browser fingerprinting, to reduce fraud.)
