You can stop all that nonsense about linking to sates and the destination site owners getting sh*tty about it by setting your firewall and linux transparent proxy up correctly.


Its called "anonymize_headers" and "deny referrer". Once you enable this you quickly find out which websites are invading your privacy,

Particularly the imdb website throws its toys out of the pram with this config, and makes no excuse for wanting to invade your privacy in exchange for access to their site.

If we all did this it would weed out the nosey websites overnight!
