I forget, where do you cut a link to remove the tracked bit?

Needs a protein boost to work effectively…
Also, OP, why is the image link like 2 pages long? Do you want people to track you? 🤔

That partly depends on the site, but to keep it simple, if you’re on Android, I highly recommend Léon URL cleaner app.
But I’ll use two different forms of a YouTube link as examples of how it can be both simple and confusing…
You see that ?si=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx shit, yeah that’s their tracking data…

Basically, anything after the ?, unless there are search terms in there

Believe it or not, the link came from incognito tab. 😆

Incognito is only good for local privacy like clearing history when closed. Websites will still track everything, and through fingerprinting, there’s a very good chance they still know its you.
