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.

Firefox is just that browser. Nothing beats it.
You’re one step closer to joining the Librewolf club!
What this has done for me has highlighted how many things are tracker me and how badly those things are designed because they don’t fail gracefully.
I had a telehealth visit link today that broke using this feature. So that’s nice to know. My virtual doctors appointments are being tracked by a third party.

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.
Awesome. I hate having to manually remove that crap.
Chrome can get fucked.
Thanks Mozilla
Hell yes finally
I just used this and it was awesome. Just in case you were wondering.
I really hope the ctrl-c shortcut defaults to that
As much as I like this idea in theory, in practice I would actually be pretty annoyed if ctrl+c did anything other than copy the currently selected text. I would like a keyboard shortcut, though.
That should be an option for sure!
I love Firefox it is a great browser and this is nice to have built in now.
I tried it and the link didn’t work. Anyone else have issues?
What type of link was it?
Sausage link.
Firefox, or Mozilla, continues to be the only browser (at least among the biggies) that’s for the users, not the trackers and marketers.
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
Thank goodness. I hate trying to copy share links and they got a whole paragraph of tracking BS. Even YouTube started to add that.
