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 🤷♂️
TIL Firefox loves me.
if they also have a sick sense of humour, they will also stuff all the utm_* query params with nefarious values ;)
which does it for you
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 love everyone by that standard
I do it all the time for *everyone* because I love you all
If you really wanna know
if he loves you so
It’s in his links (that’s where it is!)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.dood do you know just how many times this toot has shown up in my feed
glad our efforts are appreciated 🙏🏽
nah. Friends don’t let friends give more data to advertisers.
