    I always remove the ugly suffix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashanti?wprov=sfla1

    What is it for anyhow?

    And what about the unwieldy suffix Facebook adds? That must be for tracking reasons but why is it so loooooooooong? Surely a unique identifier wouldn’t require many characters. Is it executable code?

      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.
