I've been asked where wget stores the URL. Same place as Chromium, in the
extended attributes. Here is my blog entry recounting my small investigation:

This is tangentially related but I found that GNU wget (1.19.5 on my
system) also stores this information, and there is no way to turn it
off; it's not mentioned in the documentation. I wonder what the FSF's
take is on this.
Package: chromium
Version: 62.0.3202.89-1
Severity: important
Hi!
If you download and save a file with Chromium (even in incognito mode), it
saves potentially sensitive metadata in a way that's completely unknown to
almost all users, even highly technical ones:
user.xdg.referrer.url:
4 matches
Mail list logo
