The patch for wget has been written by a Google employee who works on Chrome. And, it has just (2018-12-26) been both disabled by default and neutered wrt what it saves even when manually enabled: # * Changes in Wget 1.20.1 # # ** --xattr is no longer default since it introduces privacy issues. # # ** --xattr saves the Referer as scheme/host/port, user/pw/path/query/fragment # are no longer saved to prevent privacy issues. # # ** --xattr saves the Original URL without user/password to prevent # privacy issues. I'd say the same should be done in Debian-shipped Chromium.
