@CrackSmokerHD I do this for all of my links. I'd sure hope people on the fediverse knows all about this already
@coolboymew @CrackSmokerHD I didn't. This just furthers my need for a userscript that intercepts when I post and changes YT links to Invidious
@coldacid @CrackSmokerHD Well, I haven't seen this from youtube, yet, but if you share a song in a mix, there's the mix url. I usually remove it

There's also an add-on for that
@SuperSnekFriend @LukeAlmighty @CrackSmokerHD @coldacid no idea. Kagi'd it just now gave me that ublock does it apparently, but I dunno?
Yeah you just need to enable the url tracking protection filter
@Tsuki @LukeAlmighty @CrackSmokerHD @coldacid @coolboymew I don't see that, and I think the "Disable hyperlink auditing" setting is something different even if similar in function.
should be under the "Privacy" filters, it's called AdGuard URL Tracking Protection
@Tsuki @LukeAlmighty @CrackSmokerHD @coldacid @coolboymew I guess you are talking about Ad Guard's filter:
raw.githubusercontent.com/AdguardTeam/FiltersRegistry/master/filters/filter_17_TrackParam/filter.txt
Compared to Clear URL's rule set:
rules1.clearurls.xyz/data.minify.json

It seems that Ad Guard tries to set rules for general purpose so they can target as wide a surface vector as possible as well as some specific site cases, while Clear URL targets specific sites, which means any site not in the rule set can still add tracking parameters.
@coolboymew @Tsuki @LukeAlmighty @CrackSmokerHD @coldacid It's generally not a good idea to have two extensions that perform the same function taste, run at the same time. As @burner and I were talking about, it depends on how uBO and Clear URL both clean or block the tracking parameters.

I'd personally go with Ad Guard's filter on uBO because they apply the rules generally, but you may not need that or have sites that will break with general rules.
@burner @LukeAlmighty @CrackSmokerHD @coldacid @coolboymew When loading the page that has the tracking URL or when loading the tracking URL itself? It shouldn't matter how the extension removes the offending string as long as any request to the offending site doesn't include the tracking parameters.
no idea. All I know is that the url is ready to send on almost every site without editing it
