uBlock Origin's wiki says that link prefetching has to be disabled for privacy. Is this still true?

In both the uBlock origin GUI and the wiki, we're told that leaving prefetching enabled somehow gives the browser the ability to bypass the filters and visit blocked domains. (That's unintuitive and sounds like a bug to me.)

To test this I disabled the setting in uBlock and made sure that all available prefetch settings were enabled in about:config. I then browsed around while watching all the connects made with Wireshark. During that time, I didn't see any connections to blocked domains. That's on Linux with Firefox 55.0.3.

Is it still necessary to disable link prefetching?

Prefetching gfycat links seemingly eats a lot of data

I think I figured out the problem described in my previous post. Every time I open a subreddit like /r/overwatch with a lot of gfycat links the app seemingly decided to not just download the thumbnails but also download the videos themselves, my data connection is suddenly at capacity and my data cap drains very fast. Can someone confirm this? Just need to open a suitable subreddit and look at the traffic, happens on WiFi too.

Will Nuxt prefetch links and rehydrate into a SPA on the client side? Like Gridsome.

I want the pre-rendered html with smart link prefetching and rehydrated SPA feeling that Gridsome offers, while being SEO compliant.

Woukd like to try Nuxt, but can't figure out from reading googling whether either the server side rendered or their static site generator option would rehydrate into a SPA in the browser.

See https://gridsome.org for the no-reload xperience I'm looking for.

Sapper prefetch for links doesn't run only once on mouse hover

Clone the default starter template from Sappper's page.

Don't do anything except install and run dev

Then go to http://localhost:3000/blog and hover with mouse over the links of blog posts and watch the network tab in the browser's dev tools.

This happens even when you run build and start.

Is this the default behavior of Sapper?

If so, how can I turn it off and prefetch everything only once. Or perhaps limit it to max once every 30 seconds etc.

The New War: Hotfix 31.0.8

Source

The New War: Hotfix 31.0.8

Optimizations:

  • Added GPU preference setting to launcher to override Windows defaults and defaulted it to High Performance.
    • If you were running on battery when you launched Warframe it may have selected your laptop's IGP instead of your discrete GPU but since we don't switch GPU selection while running, reconnecting your laptop's power wouldn't actually switch to your discrete GPU so you'd suffer terrible performance until you restarted.
    • If you run into problems with the High Performance default you can get the old behaviour by changing GPU Preference to "Let Windows Decide".
    • 4255e71f28894651c673b802610133c3.png
  • Smoothed out hitches on while loading or streaming levels on PC running DirectX 11.
  • Optimized peak memory when using DirectX 12 on PC and eliminated small hitches that would occur during level and texture streaming.
  • Made many systemic micro-optimizations that saved approximately 15MB of RAM.
  • Made SIMD optimizations to core math routines to improve performance for all platforms.
  • Made a micro-optimization to DirectX 12 prefetching on PC.
  • Improved cache-density of some frequently used data to improve performance.
  • Upgraded some internal compression code to improve performance.
  • Improved overall performance in Dojos that have many Transporters.
  • Made performance improvements to Caliban’s Fusion Strike.

Changes:

  • Added additional Ranks (max Rank 180) to the current Nightwave Intermission.
  • Made improvements to lip sync animations and eyeball materials for the Operator.
  • Reduced the volume of electricity Status Effect sounds.
  • Reduced jump exertion sound interval for a post-NW character.
  • Caliban’s Cranion Helmet has been added for future Nightwave Cred Offerings rotations - keep an eye out for it!

Fixes:

  • Fixed a crash if the Panzer Devolution Mod respawn triggered with specific timing during player death & respawn.
  • Fixed another case of Data Keys not dropping from Orb Vallis Jailers, if a previous Drone Defense or Case Capture Bounty stage occurred approximately near the location you searched the body.
  • Fixed inability to β€œactivate” a certain objective during The New War Quest if the timer runs out and you’re near said activation area.

DNS-prefetch privacy issues and "Link Rel"-tracking?

As I understood it, using these dns-prefetch-tags will make a site load a bit faster when loading for example external fonts, javascripts etc. from those domains.

<link rel="dns-prefetch" href="https://www.google-analytics.com/">
<link rel="dns-prefetch" href="https://www.google.com/">
<link rel="dns-prefetch" href="https://www.gstatic.com/">

Q1:

But when ISNTPR0N.com is using them, do they send some kind of referrer information to those domains?

Q2:

If I already got those DNS in cache, do they still send the request anyway if I go to another page on the same site?

Q3:

Does uBlock block these requests or is it something that cant blocked by a browser plugin?

Link Rel - Is this a tracking ID? (?v=d84jtr7383828)

Am I wrong when I think they set a permanent unique tracking ID if you make a bookmark to that site in your browser when they got the "?v=d84jtr7383828" in the URLs?

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="https://www.ISNTPR0N.com/favicon.ico?v=d84jtr7383828">

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

How can I pass the 'name' attribute of the HTTP Request node?

Hi! So, this is a checker, used to look if a user (Username) is online on a website. Every 5 minutes via an HTTP request node, it downloads the page and looks for the ".online" class in the HTML code. Then sends a POST to my Gotify server. I'd like to pass the 'name' attribute to the Change node, so I can include the username in the message.

the Change node will Set the msg.payload to

When to use next/link? Any downsides?

So if I understand the docs correctly, a major benefit of <Link> is prefetching pages.

Is this prefetching "smart"? Like I have a menu component on all pages. Does it make sense to make those menu items <Link>s? Is Next.js smart enough to know not to prefetch them anew on each page?

Are there any reasons not to prefetch? The only instance I can think of is maybe for search results?
