Currently still in Nightly and only on ‘Copy Link’. Still nice progress though.
This may be difficult to maintain as some query parameters might be necessary. How will they be sure they’re not stripping essential elements? Won’t this become an arms race to mask tracking elements as “legitimate” looking parameters?
Awesome if they can pull it off, though.
There are common, well-known tracking parameters that Google uses such as the ones starting with “utm_”
most of the time sharing utm links isn’t helpful to the origin as if you copy a link from your email it’ll have medium=email, but actually should now be medium=direct
Won’t this become an arms race to mask tracking elements as “legitimate” looking parameters?
Maybe, but only like 3% of people are using Firefox so, maybe not?

A uBlock style community sourced list would be a great way to address this. Once it’s in prod, an addon would be next.
