No need to remove the URL tracking parameters manually. 🥳
They should make this the default.
Or a setting that makes it the default.
I don’t like any software I use to destroy data (even tracking data) without my say so.
Hmm, I agree with you 100%, but power of defaults is how big companies get average consumers. Maybe Firefox should make it default with a setting to turn it on?
A setting titled “allow copying of tracking data”, a lot of people won’t allow.
Fight fire with fire.
This just:
-
Encourages companies to try to work around it
-
More importantly, possibly breaks important functionality
It’s like saying GDPR encourages companies to try work around data protection, so it should not be implemented.
-
It’s not the default because it can break links sometimes, like links that have authentication details in the parameters.
Firefox is getting better every day
Firefox user for many, many, many years. I tried chrome once and was dismayed at how sluggish it was, hogging ram & cpu.
FF just gets better and better with every update. I’m amazed that more people aren’t using it.
Is it available for Firefox android ?
You can look into URLCheck until it is
There’s also the ClearURLs add-on.
Well yeah but building in privacy-enhancing features like this is a great strategy for FF.
I’m curious whether this sweet feature alone will decrease data greedy websites revenue in $ millions
Why would i ever have a link with tracking?
