Wasn’t this always the case? Either way, I’m not surprised.

Nope.

Do you want me to provide you a static filter rule one-liner to deal with those two URL tracking parameters?

You can share it here but also right-click in Firefox “Copy Clean Link” works.

Copy Clean Link should not work because that filter list by default is super tiny:

That leads to this resource:

  • https://firefox.settings.services.mozilla.com/v1/buckets/main/collections/query-stripping/records

This is allowed in the JSON file:

"googleadservices.com"

This is stripped in the JSON file:

"gclid"
"dclid"
"msclkid"
"_openstat"
"yclid"
"wickedid"
"twclid"
"_hsenc"
"__hssc"
"__hstc"
"__hsfp"
"hsctatracking"
"wbraid"
"gbraid"
"ysclid"
"mc_eid"
"oly_anon_id"
"oly_enc_id"
"__s"
"vero_id"
"_hsenc"
"mkt_tok"
"fbclid"

Here is the uBlock Origin static filter rule one-liner:

$removeparam=/(email_source|email_token)/

It does work and I just tested it, see StripOnShareLGPL.json - mozsearch
