I always try removing the shit after the ? and if it doesn't affect the destination of the link at all then I assume it's tracking bullshit and in my opinion you should too.
Hey the firefox "copy without site tracking" is fine and all but it's not always gonna get it right and it doesn't really help when you copy links off a discord or click a share feature that drops the link directly in your pastebin.
Just, check your links y'all, please, it just takes a few seconds.
It's like someone read my timeline and put out a call for this. Wish more people would care to sanitise their links.
in some cases (like with tiktok links), i've noticed that it straight-up prevents you from accessing what you were linked to without making an account
I'm not smart enough at computers to know these things. 😢
The whole point of youtu.be was that the links were shorter than just copying and pasting the URL—and now, with the tracking number shit, Google somehow killed that too.
