Subject: rel="noreferrer" should be added to all non-public links

This should be added to stop other sites from tracking where users are being linked from. For instance, YouTube tracks and stores the URL of a page where a link to one of their videos is. I don't think this is appropriate behaviour for places on this site which are supposed to be private, like groups.

AFAIK, Webkit-based browsers already support this, and Mozilla lists it as a bug to be fixed for Firefox in the future.

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

Are you suggesting that users do this on thier own (can they?) or that the site would automatically attach it to any link using the [url][/url] code?

Edit: And this is me not understanding computers or the internet... It's adding it into the code of the website as opposed to the end of the url isn't it?

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

So sites can't track the postID from private chapters? Understandable, but why the concern if it's just a mere link?

I'm down for it, if it would be automatic on the site.

It would be automatic and you wouldn't have to change the way you currently create links.

Not just the postID, but the full URL.

The increase in privacy.

That would be good. You can't go wrong with more privacy.

No offense Daz, but I feel like this is going right over people's head, the way you described it. It did for me at first. I don't know, maybe I'm just dumb.

OT: what's AFAIK?

As far as I know

~:O>~~

The Youtube Gawds frown upon this assertion, and will smite you with slander and provide 40 lashes!

But anyways...

What's even worse is that they track what activity (purchases especially... since it's a transaction) you done from ANY site, I'm aware of how cookies are implemented to 'better your experience' on the web (and it does to a point), but in this particular case I was actually somewhat offended. First they take away file sharing, make facebook pages accessable, and now advertisments are present in everything. I'm sick of advertisments. I'm sick of breaches of my privacy and gawd knows what else they koniving?

Yeah... I gotta be honest. I'm not entirely sure what you're saying.

When you click that link, your browser needs to send some information to YouTube's server's. For example, its language, what format it can accept, and so on. However, because the above link is embedded on this page (the one you're looking at), your browser will also send the URL currently in your address bar to YouTube amongst the other aforementioned information (language, formats, etc...). This is called a referer header.

When rel="nofollow" is added to a link on a page, the referer header is not included.

Strikes me as pretty kludgy considering they don't have access to those private parts of the site anyway. It's not really bungie's responsibility to do this, either; the referer header comes from the browser. you can turn it off in firefox's about:config if it bothers you that much, just set network.http.sendRefererHeader to 0 (def 2).

the only problem i have with mine is that it's unstable,[very shakey],so you'd need a tripod for it.

Just drink a beer and everything will be ok

I still think that google has far too much of my personal info than is healthy. Any way to starve them of some tiny bit sounds good to me.

Eh, I quite like the referral feature they have in the video statistics.

Is there a save of any sort, or is it just set the value and you're done?

Seems like a pretty pointless suggestion. I'm not really that concerned, but I guess if they want to do it I don't really see a drawback except a new attrib on the a tags.

  • 06.02.2012 7:24 PM PDT

What goes here??

I wouldn't mind having it here.

I apologize in advance for all the crappy jokes I make.

I don't think it's worth the trouble. private groups are not accesible by anyone who is not a member, anyway.

For Carnage Apply Within

They think that they have pacified Ireland. They think that they have purchased half of us and intimidated the other half. They think that they have foreseen everything, think that they have provided against everything; but the fools, the fools, the fools! — they have left us our Fenian dead, and while Ireland holds these graves, Ireland unfree shall never be at peace
