Disable hyperlink auditing beacon
See "Hyperlink-Auditing aka <a ping>
and Beacon aka navigator.sendBeacon()
".
For those browsers, the network requests fired as a result of calling navigator.sendBeacon()
are send as behind-the-scene network requests.
Network requests created as a result of web pages using navigator.sendBeacon()
will not be blocked when the setting "Disable hyperlink auditing/beacon" is checked. This is a limitation of the chrome API prior to v49, as network request fired as a result of calling navigator.sendBeacon()
are reported as the generic type other
by the browser.
The webRequest API was extended in Chromium 49 to support new request types, and thus the settings works fine for any browser based on Chromium 49 or higher, as there is now a specific network request type, ping
, which uBO normalizes to beacon
-- and hence can now filter correctly.
