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?

    Looks like its only for copy, not left-clicking to open it.
    Also doesnt stop click-hijacking. If the Site encodes a url you cannot decode, you have to go through the site or, if the link is also visible as text, grab that.
