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.

Try to copy an Amazon link with and without this option and you'll see
