I care about this also. I used to clean them up, but what I've started doing is adding and replacing parts of the share id. And I'll usually put something stupid in there like "booger", just to screw up their tracking data.

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
I feel the same, I actually feel weird when someone shares with me a url with tracking or source tags, like bro you’re telling on yourself… do you not care?!
Brave includes “copy clean link” in the context menu in the desktop version.
I shall do it, because i hate this URL ads, even more the fucking link shortener, because they disguised it and avoid to see the destination. Because of this i use 2 extension, a Link unshortener, which reveal the real URL, when i click on a shorten link also the Adguardfilter in the Vivaldi's own trackerblocker, You can find more filters here:
I agree completely but most good browsers will automatically filter that stuff out. (Extensions like ClearURL are completely obsolete)
I sometimes leave some IDs in that don't change and seem to track me as a person so the tracking mixes them up with me if the trackers don't discard it on client change.
If anything that just makes it easier to map your social circle. Probably even intentional to see who you share links with.
Nah, that's when you leave the share tracking ID in. Keep up
I sometimes leave some IDs in
Keep up with yourself?
