For android, I use this: https://github.com/TrianguloY/UrlChecker

For firefox, I use ublock origin and add then anti url tracking list. Adguard maintains such a list. I forgot the exact name though.

Edit: it's this one https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdguardTeam/FiltersRegistry/master/filters/filter_17_TrackParam/filter.txt

Thanks. Looking back, maybe I should've at least explained about it a little more. At the time I just wanted to blow off some steam.

That's an interesting idea. Although some websites/apps will have some quirks that might break the general rules.

How so? This is a rant post, I'm not trying to present it differently.

Look, the point is that I've tried explaining it to friends and family and whoever want (and don't want) to listen.

This post is a rant / wishful thinking as stated as being so, I'm not in the mood of explaining everything again. I've done that in my personal blog, etc.

No but that's what the comments are for. I share if the discussion is relevant.

It's not just browser though, sharing links from apps also generate these URLs. A lot of people then share these links through chat apps.

I do realize that most people are not aware of it, that's why I said this is more of a rant. Just want to vent to fellow privacy minded people.

Some apps are hiding it behind shortened URLs. So it looks clean, but if you expand it, then oh boy.

Nice. I personally prefer using this one: https://github.com/TrianguloY/UrlChecker

There are services like https://nextdns.io/ that makes it super easy to use DNS-based tracker blocking on most devices.

Just install nitter.net as web app.
