There are still lots of tracking parameters it doesn't remove. It does not bypass redirects like doubleclick.net/redirect?url=..., either.
I'd prefer if it worked with personal and community managed filters, like every good adblocker does now.
It'll warn you before you go to shit tracking redirectors though.
The point is to bypass them, so it won't go to https://click-tracker.com/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Findex.php%23content%3Fpage%3Dwelcome%26say%3Dhello&clickID=a68bd9003 but https://example.com/index.php#content?page=welcome&say=hello already.

there's even an extension to do that automatically, clearurls if i recall correctly
I didn't know about that! I always use Ctrl+C of course. I'll look out for this next time
I guess I really love everyone because I've just always done that
Me too, but just to screw over Amazon's social graph making.
It's less love and more spite.

Screenshotting a post from another fediverse app seems a bit crazy. As an alternative, this post is available natively in lemmy, as text and from the original author (so you can reply to him if you'd like).
I can't give a universal link to a post obviously, but if you're on lemmy.world, it's here: https://lemmy.world/post/11631169, and if you're not, it's available on the !tails@lemmon.website community.
even on the federated web, you can't escape the screenshots
Let's just be thankful they actually took a screenshot and didn't take a picture of the screen with their phone.
It's a step up as long as it stays that way and reposters know they can save the screenshot instead of screenshotting the screenshot.
Neither of those links load in Voyager, so I think a screenshot is great.
What's happened for you there isn't a problem for screenshots to really fix - it's whatever frontend you're using not giving lemmy's backend enough time to fetch a remote community. This happens loads - I even made a little video about it the other day: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/13703060
When you clicked on !tails@lemmon.website, it did actually go through to dbzer0, and Voyager has no trouble with the community once it's though. A little ironically perhaps, but here's a hastily combined screenshot showing it at dbzer0 and on Voyager:
edit: and the link to the post of course: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/13850191

and checks it still works
I actually remove stuff like the "feature=sharing" nonsense from the end of youtube memes I share pretty regularly
And send bank account and phone numbers in a separate message for easy copying
Full format addresses so they automatically turn into links

Some messengers like Telegram allow you to copy preformatted blocks in one click, so you can just write "here's the number number" and it will still be easy to copy

Oh no I think I'm sending some people the wrong kind of message... I didn't mean to...
it's ok. i figured we could never be more than friends
Firefox: Rt-click - "Copy without Site Tracking"
Firefox best browser
jeff, you are mixing love with OCD... again
I change it by adding profanities
Will the links still work? This gives me ideas
Yep, they'll work.
I guess I love more people than I care to acknowledge
I feel so seen ❤️
If you set URLCheck as a default browser and you can automate the process of making people think you love them
Nice to see an app for it.
Android 13 and above comes with a clipboard editor which is super handy. I just edit all my links in that.
Oh nice, I had no idea that's what that did, cheers!
see a few that just paste the google news links. we can never be friends
Unless of course you want them to look at something specific that the query string automatically selects for them. It'd be pretty confusing in that case if you removed the query string and they're just looking at thousands of entries in a table or something.
my big sister does this. i love her so much
This is my love language
Does stack exchange have a mastodon instance?
