I just pasted a Reddit link to share with someone privately here on Mastodon, and got notified by @Tuba that it had removed a tracking parameter from the link! This kind of QoL improvement is what I think takes an app from good to great.

@bragefuglseth @Tuba As long as it never removes something it shouldn't remove because it thinks it's tracking, but in fact it is a code that gives access or an affiliate link or anything like that.

@forteller @bragefuglseth

The filters are mostly from brave browser's source code and if there's something cryptobros love, is their affiliate links.

(But there's also a switch in settings to turn it off :3
FWIW, Tuba also strips tracking params from every link the user clicks. The idea and filters came from kop316@fosstodon.org who submitted them to Chatty!)
