Currently still in Nightly and only on ‘Copy Link’. Still nice progress though.

Don’t “who?” when they have a Wikipedia page.

Ooh. I hope this can be set as the default for ‘Copy Link’ and then I can just have the tracking when I actually want it.

So never? I agree defaulting it would be great as long as it doesn’t falsely remove anything.

Not all queryparameters are tracking, so the option to copy the actual href of the hyperlink is useful.

Most of the time I appreciate a feature that strips them automatically

Yea, existing extensions get things wrong sometimes. I’m sure this will be the same - especially if sites start changing things to temporarily circumvent. Needs to be an easy way to grab the real URL just in case.

firefox removes tracking data

chrome wants to make it possible for websites to refuse to serve you data if you run unapproved software

there is, in fact, a good guy in the browser wars

“refuse to serve you data”, read as, “refuse to show you ads”, yeah right

I would love for you to expand on what you were trying to say with this comment, in great detail. I would consider it a favor.

That’s awesome! I use the Clear URLs extension and it does a great job but it’ll be nice to have this capability baked in.

Had no idea something existed for this, I’m forever deleted annoying tracking info from links. Mozilla continues to impress me with their privacy additions… latest update notified me about email masking which looks like it’ll be a major boon once I work out how to use it.

Clear URL is great. Beware that it can break some login and payment sites though. The Addon unfortunately lacks a whitelist so you have to turn it on and off, so it’s easy to forget to turn back on.
