There are still lots of tracking parameters it doesn't remove. It does not bypass redirects like doubleclick.net/redirect?url=..., either.

I'd prefer if it worked with personal and community managed filters, like every good adblocker does now.

It'll warn you before you go to shit tracking redirectors though.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

The point is to bypass them, so it won't go to https://click-tracker.com/redirect?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Findex.php%23content%3Fpage%3Dwelcome%26say%3Dhello&clickID=a68bd9003 but https://example.com/index.php#content?page=welcome&say=hello already.

there's even an extension to do that automatically, clearurls if i recall correctly

[–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 years ago

I didn't know about that! I always use Ctrl+C of course. I'll look out for this next time

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 74 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I guess I really love everyone because I've just always done that

[–] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Me too, but just to screw over Amazon's social graph making.

It's less love and more spite.

Screenshotting a post from another fediverse app seems a bit crazy. As an alternative, this post is available natively in lemmy, as text and from the original author (so you can reply to him if you'd like).

I can't give a universal link to a post obviously, but if you're on lemmy.world, it's here: https://lemmy.world/post/11631169, and if you're not, it's available on the !tails@lemmon.website community.

[–] i_ben_fine@lemmy.one 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

even on the federated web, you can't escape the screenshots

[–] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Let's just be thankful they actually took a screenshot and didn't take a picture of the screen with their phone.

[–] clearleaf@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It's a step up as long as it stays that way and reposters know they can save the screenshot instead of screenshotting the screenshot.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Neither of those links load in Voyager, so I think a screenshot is great.

[–] freamon@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

What's happened for you there isn't a problem for screenshots to really fix - it's whatever frontend you're using not giving lemmy's backend enough time to fetch a remote community. This happens loads - I even made a little video about it the other day: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/13703060

When you clicked on !tails@lemmon.website, it did actually go through to dbzer0, and Voyager has no trouble with the community once it's though. A little ironically perhaps, but here's a hastily combined screenshot showing it at dbzer0 and on Voyager:

edit: and the link to the post of course: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/13850191

and checks it still works

I actually remove stuff like the "feature=sharing" nonsense from the end of youtube memes I share pretty regularly

[–] Sigh_Bafanada@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (7 children)

And send bank account and phone numbers in a separate message for easy copying

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Full format addresses so they automatically turn into links

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Some messengers like Telegram allow you to copy preformatted blocks in one click, so you can just write "here's the number number" and it will still be easy to copy

Oh no I think I'm sending some people the wrong kind of message... I didn't mean to...

[–] EndHD@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Firefox: Rt-click - "Copy without Site Tracking"

[–] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Firefox best browser

[–] topperharlie@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

jeff, you are mixing love with OCD... again

[–] CurlyMoustache@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I change it by adding profanities

[–] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Will the links still work? This gives me ideas

[–] YoorWeb@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yep, they'll work.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 9 points 2 years ago

I guess I love more people than I care to acknowledge

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago

I feel so seen ❤️

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

If you set URLCheck as a default browser and you can automate the process of making people think you love them

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nice to see an app for it.

Android 13 and above comes with a clipboard editor which is super handy. I just edit all my links in that.

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

Oh nice, I had no idea that's what that did, cheers!

[–] m3t00@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

see a few that just paste the google news links. we can never be friends

[–] ShaunaTheDead@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Unless of course you want them to look at something specific that the query string automatically selects for them. It'd be pretty confusing in that case if you removed the query string and they're just looking at thousands of entries in a table or something.

[–] virtueisdead@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

my big sister does this. i love her so much

[–] TodaviaTyler@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

This is my love language
