🆕 Copy Sanitized Link
Links often carry tracking parameters that tell a site who shared them and where they came from. Copy Sanitized Link strips those out before the link reaches your clipboard, so the person you send it to gets the page and nothing else. It’s an easy habit that keeps a bit more of your browsing to yourself.
Available now in Vivaldi 8.3 on mobile and desktop. ✅
@Vivaldi Thank you so much, this is great!
This is one feature I wish other browsers, like @Waterfox and @zenbrowser had.
@Vivaldi I fully embrace you adopting these privacy features from Firefox, but a bit of "as FF has been offering since Firefox 120 in 2023" would go a long way to build trust.
@Vivaldi Librewolf browser with extensions : Ublock, Decentral eyes, Privacy badger is what i prefer.
aliexpress link test:
nope, did not strip it down, I would share the before and after but I am pretty sure the URL contains my location as well.
I like sharing weird items from ali but the links are crazy. It is also hard to strip it down and make a usable link.
@Vivaldi so very helpful! Thank you!
@Vivaldi just discovering this now! Great new addition!
How can we make this the default behavior when we copy links? @Vivaldi
@WeirdWriter it is available as a command “Copy Page Address without Parameters”, so it is accessible via Quick Commands, it can be added to any menu, assigned a shortcut, and everything else one can do with a command.
Is "Copy Sanitized Link" the same as "Copy Page Address without Parameters"? I think I'm a bit confused about it. The second one appears for Quick Commands, Gestures and Shortcuts, but the first one is only available in the menu editor.
Edit: Okay, I just saw that both are in the menu editor. 🤯
@Vivaldi @WeirdWriter But how can we have it when we click on *a link in a page*, avoiding the need to use an extension such as “Copy Clean Link” for that?
@Vivaldi Clean the link a bit, but not enough, it needs a polished touches🖌️.The 1st line is the raw, 2nd line the 'cleaned' and into the red rectangle the minimum link required to work. There's a second kind of links, but you got the point, isn't it?
Eventually in future, might create a list with patterns to handle better the 'cleaning', even create our owns, share'em with community...It's just a coin flip on air.
