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?

    This is actually a rather new feature in the firefox browser unrelated to searx.

        Vanilla.

        The only reason I didn’t mention it is because it’s for copying links, whereas the extension should do it while opening, without needing to copy it first.

          Thats a level of convenience that will probably get me to grab the extension, but Im glad firefox has that as a feature anyway
