May I add another observation along the same lines?

I often see folks posting super long links that have tracking embedded in them.

Example [altered to disable link]:
portlndleathergoods.com/produc

It seems that many people don't know that everything past the "?" in that link is unnecessary for navigation and only serves to provide tracking.

When copying and pasting links you need only copy up to (and not including) the "?"

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. Carry on.

@shansterable @jwildeboer Generally sure, but parameters are used to build web pages.

@shansterable @jwildeboer I like the new Firefox option to copy a URL without the tracking guff.

@shansterable @jwildeboer not always is the information after the '?' for tracking. sometimes there is the product id in a shop in there and if you leave it out you will just get the start page or something similar.

but generally speaking you are right.
