my love language is manually deleting all the tracking bullshit from a link before i text it to you
@beep I try this too. I wish browsers had a preference or there was a plugin for stripping recognized query strings when copying URLs
@burblebeep Man, same. Firefox rolled out a “copy link without site tracking” thing that’s pretty neat — wish it was the default, and that more browsers had it. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop

Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox automatically protects your privacy as you browse.

@burblebeep @beep if you use uBlock Origin (and you should, because it actually makes the internet usable again!), you can add this list to trim most of them automatically when opening a link: https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/blob/master/LegitimateURLShortener.txt

@beep @burblebeep

Does the chrome or edge version work with ddg browser, because I just had my eyes criminally sexually assaulted by a link I clicked to read a story. Idk if the story is untrue or not but honestly, if I want to see porn, I know how to access it.

@burblebeep @beep I have a Firefox addon at work that does exactly this. They do exist (I'd name it but I'm not there right now)

It/they should work in the mobile version as well, though I haven't tried.
