It’s a subtle thing, but I really appreciate that when sharing a link from Safari on iOS it puts the address on the clipboard without the “m.” automatically, so I don’t have to edit it out.
And what about the unwieldy suffix Facebook adds? That must be for tracking reasons but why is it so loooooooooong? Surely a unique identifier wouldn’t require many characters. Is it executable code?
I’m pretty sure Firefox does that as well. It’s a pretty standard thing although it is annoying when you’re trying to test something and you actually want all the extra bits.
Does this mean they’ll finally stop giving the fucking mobile site on desktop just because someone couldn’t edit out the “m.” from the link?
off topic but dandelion sprout’s redirector does this https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/Dandelion Sprout-s Redirector Assistant List/DandelionSproutRedirectorList.json
Is that someone, yourself?

I mean, yeah… On the other hand it shouldn’t really edit a link you want to share, should it?
It might be related to the setting to remove tracking information from shared links? I’ve appreciated not having to manually take that crap off.
I always remove the ugly suffix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashanti?wprov=sfla1
What is it for anyhow?

I don’t know why Facebook puts so much junk in the links, but there’s a setting for Safari to remove that automatically.
