Comment on When people recommend Brave browser.
sukhmel@programming.dev 3 days agoAs far as I remember, there is some browser with a feature of stripping tracking id from the URL, that is modification, but I find it good (if I can opt in, and if the feature is visible enough to know what to try if it doesn’t work)

And you chose to do that or it was a feature that was advertised to you. Adding referral IDs to links you click so the browser company gets money is not comparable to that at all.

Mind you, I’m not arguing that was crappy, just that not any modification of links is bad

I would argue that if you know your browser is stripping tracking info for links then the link you clicked on doesn’t have tracking information.
