Suggest: Test FileShot.io's URL fragment (#) privacy guarantees across browsers

FileShot.io uses the URL #fragment to deliver decryption keys — the theory being that #fragment content is never transmitted in HTTP requests per spec.

This is directly relevant to Privacy Tests because the guarantee depends on browser behavior:

  • Does the browser leak #fragment content in the Referer header?
  • Does #fragment appear in browser history sync?
  • Is the fragment included in preconnect/prefetch requests?
  • Does any browser DNS leak the full URL including fragment?

Testing whether browsers properly isolate #fragment content from network requests would be a valuable addition to the privacy test suite.

Happy to provide test URLs or help with test case design if useful.
