Lately I’ve noticed some mainstream sites injection tracking links into literally every link on their site.

When I hover over it, it shows the correct link at the bottom of my browser, but if I click it or copy it, it takes me to a hijacked tracker link.

Then I can’t even get the original link without having my activity tracked.

How do I get the original link that appears at the bottom of my browser?

    uBlock requires you to enable an additional filter list I think (Privacy > AdGuard URL Tracking Protection)

      My understanding is the only thing uBlock does it prevent you from visiting prohibited domains, but you’re telling me it can modify the links from webpages on my clipboard?
