Description

Continue the effort from the PR https://github.com/plausible/plausible-tracker/pull/45. The outbound link tracking event is sent with navigator.sendBeacon to honor the target attribute for outbound link tracking.

uBlock Origin prevents ping requests with navigator.sendBeacon when the "Disable hyperlink auditing" option is enabled https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dashboard:-Settings#disable-hyperlink-auditing
