    There needs to be a warning message about trackers in URLs or something when posting on this site (the twitter link, the &t=xxxx stuff)

      yeah, I've noticed twitter URLs always have an extra piece of garbage in them now. getting tired of manually removing all that crap every time I open a link on the internet these days.

          for people that want to do this and have ublock but are intimidated by the word "learn" (lol): ublock settings > filters panel > custom filters (at the bottom) and then you just paste that second link in as the URL. ez pz

        Yeah. It's a constant thing on basically every site. I'm happy to do it even if I'm tired of doing it.
