minus-squareBlursedTarot@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·3 days agoI assume this strips the utm parameters?
minus-squareEphera@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·3 days agoYeah, and a few other such parameters where it’s pretty clear that they’re only used for tracking.
minus-squareVincent@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 days agoI don’t think it strips UTM parameters specifically - I think it’s limited to parameters that track you individually?
minus-squareEphera@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·3 days agoHmm, apparently this is the list of parameters it strips: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-release/source/toolkit/components/antitracking/StripOnShareLists/LGPL/StripOnShareLGPL.json So, yeah, it’s only some of the UTM parameters (+ some non-UTM parameters).
