No need to remove the URL tracking parameters manually. 🥳
The people on Lemmy convinced me to switch from Chrome to Firefox.
One of us. One of us.
You’re one step closer to joining the Librewolf club!

Yep. I stopped using my local medical center’s app because wouldn’t you know, they sold my info to a fuckload of 4th parties. Spam from the email I setup, 100% for only the account (Firefox relay), evidences the facts directly.
Pretty fucking gross misconduct in my opinion.
This is a good step forward for privacy. However, how it’ll handle data embedded in the URL like MVC?
Also, if it does work well, it’s a matter of time until developers find a way to get around it and probably enhance and increase data collected in the process.
I just used this and it was awesome. Just in case you were wondering.

I really hope the ctrl-c shortcut defaults to that
That should be an option for sure!
Hell yeah! Normally I try to do this manually, so this is a useful feature for me
I love Firefox it is a great browser and this is nice to have built in now.
I saw it earlier. When I tried it, it still kept the ?utm=blah&rel=blargh stuff on the URL from FB. 🤷♂️
URL query string is only one way to pass variables. each has drawbacks https://stackoverflow.com/questions/597700/what-is-the-best-alternative-for-querystring
Is this on Android yet? If yes, how do I use it, don’t see an option
Not on Android yet. In the meantime, I would just use the Clear URLs extension.
I tried it and the link didn’t work. Anyone else have issues?
What type of link was it?
Sausage link.
Yeah it only worked sometimes for me, it’ll probably get better with time
Firefox, or Mozilla, continues to be the only browser (at least among the biggies) that’s for the users, not the trackers and marketers.
Thank goodness. I hate trying to copy share links and they got a whole paragraph of tracking BS. Even YouTube started to add that.
