No need to remove the URL tracking parameters manually. ๐ฅณ
Is there an about:config setting to make this the default action or are we gonna have to be patient for that?

I looked for it in about:config, but I couldn't narrow it down and see which parameter it was (if it's even in there at all yet).
Also searching for this answer. https://lemmy.world/comment/5626130
Semi-off-topic, but is there anything like a smarter clipboard on Android that can remove tracking details on paste (would be different from a plain paste)?
I'm curious whether this sweet feature alone will decrease data greedy websites revenue in $ millions
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.
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.
