When someone really loves you, they delete all that ridiculous querystring nonsense from the end of the hyperlink before sending it to you. 💘

best is to customise it with weird random stuff that put them on a watchlist
I’ve thought about making a personal browser extension that turns all querystring text to
“?source=your_mom”Edit: it’s a bookmarklet 🙃
I never understood why site authors don’t do it on page load after having run their analytics solution of choice. It’s just basic respect to site readers 🤷♂️
dood do you know just how many times this toot has shown up in my feed
Hate that stuff. Is there a browser extension or something that blocks it?
I must be one of the most loving person on the planet…OR, I kust the most hateful one when it comes to the surveillance state we live in.
I do this when copying Reddit links to share with friends, as I assume that the “deeplink” that shows up in the query is a tracker of some sort. Plus, it just looks nicer.
Firefox loves its users. They build a function that does this.
We just need more parameters added to this function, so they get removed.When someone pretends to love you, they send affiliate links.
If you really wanna know
if he loves you so
It’s in his links (that’s where it is!)@codinghorror@infosec.exchange Oh, and what does it mean when someone adds something to the query string?
unacknowledged truth
I clearly love too many people
Firefox does this now :)
(“Copy without site tracking”)I love everyone by that standard
