Ping Blocker - Prevent Website Tracking
Ping Blocker is a Firefox add-on that helps you prevent websites from tracking you by blocking ping requests. It blocks ping requests generated via various methods on websites, including the navigator.sendBeacon() API, anchor elements with the 'ping' attribute, and <meta> tags with 'report-to' URLs. The add-on provides options to customize the type of ping requests to block and allows whitelisting of specific domains.
