Bug ID: 411814 Summary: Option to not fetch enclosures Product: akregator Version: 5.12.1 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org Reporter: u-xoo5v...@hah0ahju.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Hi, Would it be possible to have an option to not fetch enclosures? It's a privacy issue for me. I like using rss to read my content because it reduces the tracking surface : one may know which feeds I fetch, but not when/if I read articles from them. But automatically fetching enclosure on read allows just that : it leaks what I read, at the exact time that I read it. I've seen at least one occurrence of a feed using a hash param in the enclosure url, possibly for tracking (it's cointelegraph.com). It would be nice if there was at least an option to disable that behavior. Thanks. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. find a feed with enclosures 2. open an article while connected to the internet : the enclosure is displayed 3. open an other article after disconnecting from the internet : the enclosure is not displayed OBSERVED RESULT Akregator seems to fetch enclosure when displaying the rss item. EXPECTED RESULT Reading feed items (just the feed content, not opening related article in browser) should not issue trackable requests. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
