Can someone ELI5 what is the difference with normal link sharing?
Does it change for the end user something or what? I ask because I almost never share stuff from my browsers, but I do from some apps such as social media or Sync for Lemmy/Voyager.
it just removes all the crap at the end of a link
Generally a link tells a browser where to find something on the Web, but you can stuff it with additional information so that when a server receives a request for that something, it will know how the browser got that link.
This feature strip's out that additional information.
