Consider enabling bounce tracking protection

💡 Proposal

User Story

Bounce Tracking Protection is a feature in Enhanced Tracking Protection (ETP) strict mode that prevents redirect trackers (bounce trackers) from collecting data as you navigate between websites.

From: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop#w_bounce-tracking-protection

Seems like a nice feature. It is currently disabled because anti-tracking needs to be audited, this ticket is specific about bounce tracking though.

Security and Privacy Implications

It's unclear, that is why this is currently disabled. We need to audit the whole thing.

Prior Art

Does this feature exist in other browsers?

  • Yes
    • Firefox
    • Firefox ESR
    • Other (please specify)
  • No

Does this feature exist as an extension? If yes, which one provides this functionality?

Not sure, but also I don't think matters here.
