Mozilla to protect Firefox users from bounce trackers - Stack Diary

How about stopping link hover from showing its own nonsense in the status line, Mozilla. The status line should always show the real link destination.
It could only know that by navigating to the link in the background. That would have side effects, like them being able to track you even when you don't click on links.
If the link is to a redirector then that's what should show in the status line.
Fine! If there's Javascript fuckery going on, then the status line should say "WARNING: JAVASCRIPT FUCKERY!"
That should just be the title bar now
