Reddit, YouTube, facebook and all of the other social media websites track the urls I copied. Whenever you copy a link, check out, it is not the actual url and/or it contains a track id in the url. I can't share anything with the people any more, and click their links, because I hate being tracked.

Reddit now copies without the '?' but the copied url has tracking in it. Because when I open the url in browser, the page opens and then I see the tracking id. Before that, it is a simple url, with encrypted data
