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

So just a set of strings determined to be used for tracking among a set of hosts? It's not like I have a better solution, but I feel like making this anti-tracking method encourages more complex tracking params. At some point, I wouldn't be surprised to see randomly generated query parameter keys which are resolved server side, making this approach impossible.

    I completely agree with you, but this is always the problem isn't it? It's a cat and mouse game. If the mouse learns techniques to hide from the cat the cat develops better techniques to find the mouse. It's not a reason for the mouse to stop hiding.
