Edit: disregard below. I suck cocks.
I'll be honest and say that I'd rather the browser not modify the URLs I want to share.
Unless it's an option..
Do it for affiliate links too.
Actually curious. What's wrong with people making money?
In many cases a lot of sites don’t make it clear that they have a conflict of interest.
You want to push a product on me and you’ll get a cut? Cool, but disclose that.
Nothing provided it is an honest and upfront with consent from the user. The problem is vast majority of affiliate links are non-consensual, buried in articles and in the worst case are the reason that pages even exist - "top ten dishwashers", "50 gifts to buy your wife for Christmas" etc. clickbait garbage. I doubt most visitors even understand that's why the pages exist or the financial remuneration they get from making these lists.
So it would not be a bad thing that if a browser to detect an affiliate link and ask you if you wanted to follow it as-is or strip the affiliate info out with a checkbox to remember the decision for the site.
Based.
Will it work for Gmail's link hijackers where it routes you first to Google then forwards you to the actual site?
Hope one day Firefox integrates uBlock Origin by default.
At first, I thought this was a joke about privacy until I realized that this is real and sadly this is something we need.
I like the ':has' pun in the title too. Supporting that is a real game changer!
It would be nice if it also available in android.
Nice.
This is great because I hate manually removing that stuff before I share a link. And I always have to test the link before clicking send.
Wow I manually removed the tracking crap from a bunch of URLs last night while copying them. Excited for this change.
Sorry for necroposting but are you the real linux creator
