Currently still in Nightly and only on 'Copy Link'. Still nice progress though.

Ooh. I hope this can be set as the default for 'Copy Link' and then I can just have the tracking when I actually want it.

    So never? I agree defaulting it would be great as long as it doesn't falsely remove anything.

    Not all queryparameters are tracking, so the option to copy the actual href of the hyperlink is useful.

    Most of the time I appreciate a feature that strips them automatically

    Yea, existing extensions get things wrong sometimes. I’m sure this will be the same - especially if sites start changing things to temporarily circumvent. Needs to be an easy way to grab the real URL just in case.
