can the tracking of this data be blocked by using incognito mode, or other measures?
how about a browser extension that prevents you from clicking a link, and instead takes the "click input" and instead of actually clicking the link, executes a macro to copy the url, open a new tab, then paste & go in the new tab address bar?
