thread, sites can already do this without <a ping>.
When you're shopping for an engagement ring, why would you want to
prevent the jewelry vendor from knowing that you're shopping, or from
knowing who you are?
Because being able to more uniquely identify you makes it easier to game
you. You should always be in private browsing mode when you're shopping
for airplane tickets, for example.
