Competition links

[Deleted User]

Hi

I have come back to comping after about 2 years out. When I used to do it, I was told, can not remember which one it was but to either find the comp yourself instead of clicking on the link or there was a program which hide the referrer link. Is that still the case?

Thanks
Ryan

If you use Firefox as your browser, you can install RefControl as one of your Add-Ons (Tools - Add-Ons and search for RefControl).
There may be other methods which hide the referrer too, but this is the one I use.

On Chrome, if you right click on your mouse on the link, you can choose an anonymous link.

I remember now, it was RefControl I used to use for firefox, thanks Ness13. The only trouble is I am using chrome. Thanks for the reply Zanzib but when you open an incognito window it stills show the referer. I have found Referer Control and it works wonders.

Thanks

Thanks for clarifying the referrer bit in Chrome, Ryan2uk.

I would go with just dragging the link to a new tab.Should hide the MSE connection in most browsers.

Thanks my lovelies

I try to do that but I was hoping there might be a shortcut. Just to save time you understand - definitely NOT because I'm in any way lazy :rotfl::rotfl:
