Is that redirect to avoid sending a referer header to server though? In other words, doesn't it actually prevent tracking?

[dingleberry420]

Native apps don't produce referer headers when opening a link in a browser.

But that wouldn't prevent tracking anyway. It would just mean all the tracking is done by Google.

[thisiscorrect]

But that could be done by other, less obvious means, if desired. Does this redirect add any new tracking abilities?

[alias_neo]

Yeah, it only prevents taking for non Google and gives them all of the tracking instead.
