Can you helpncelar something up for me? Ever since Firefox introduced the copy link without site tracking feature I have been thoroughly confused what it actually does because every time I've ever used it the URL has been exactly the same whether I used the feature or just traditional "copy link". Here on this Lemmy thread, using my Lemmy client Lemmy Connect, the link in the parent comment to yours and also the link in your comment appear identical to me. What's up with that?

Can't help you with Firefox, but it looks like OP edited his link. Youtube will add ?kc92808z0h stuff at the end, anything including and past the ? is tracker stuff.

Well at least it clears up this circumstance I was starting to think I was going crazy.

that's not universally true, a regular youtube.com link needs the ?v=k3489k8 bit to specify the video
