Issue is with the anchor element somewhere at the end of the text when FP is enabled. Disable fingerprint makes the entire element to have the anchor link. Works fine https://youtu.be/iQnE3-eRsW4

Closing as wont fix.

@srirambv Yeah, there is a small spot in the bottom right corner of "magnet link" you can click on with careful aim. Isn't this an area that could improve ad blocking detection, but take substantial work to actually address the general case?

Further investigating this isn't related to FP. Reopening to recheck again
