Major Browsers to Prevent Disabling of Click Tracking Privacy Risk (BleepingComputer)

BleepingComputer reports that browser developers are removing the ability to disable "ping=" click tracking. "Google Chrome also enables this tracking feature by default, but in the current Chrome 73 version it includes a 'Hyperlink auditing' 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 has been removed and there is no way to disable hyperlink auditing." Firefox still allows this "feature" to be disabled (and disables it by default).
