I always remove the ugly suffix en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashanti?wprov=sfla1
What is it for anyhow?
And don’t get me started on the unwieldy suffix Facebook adds. That must be for tracking reasons but why is it so loooooooooong?

I’m pretty sure Firefox does that as well. It’s a pretty standard thing although it is annoying when you’re trying to test something and you actually want all the extra bits.
I don’t know why Facebook puts so much junk in the links, but there’s a setting for Safari to remove that automatically.

I mean, yeah… On the other hand it shouldn’t really edit a link you want to share, should it?

It might be related to the setting to remove tracking information from shared links? I’ve appreciated not having to manually take that crap off.
