Privacy is important.

When you click a link and visit another website, it tells them what page you were on, allowing them to track your activity.

We fixed this, it will be rolling out soon!

@pixelfed why not just rel="noreferrer"? This seems like it will add a delay for no reason

@pixelfed it's kind of confusing to tell what you're trying to fix since you don't show the URL bar in your demo. If you're on the same domain (pixelfed.social) this isn't needed from anything I can tell. If you're talking about opening different domains. Anchor tags can have rel="noopener noreferrer" as an attribute to protect against window access attacks. I _think_ what you've implemented is actually based off soc nets tracking outbound link clicks. Lol. Overcomplicated for privacy.

@pixelfed
A bit late to the party, but it sure looks like you are overengineering a solution to a problem that was already solved in standards using link types noreferer and noopener.
