best is to customise it with weird random stuff that put them on a watchlist
I’ve thought about making a personal browser extension that turns all querystring text to
“?source=your_mom”Edit: it’s a bookmarklet 🙃
I never understood why site authors don’t do it on page load after having run their analytics solution of choice. It’s just basic respect to site readers 🤷♂️
Yes! Unless it’s a gift link…

if they also have a sick sense of humour, they will also stuff all the utm_* query params with nefarious values ;)
Firefox loves its users. They build a function that does this.
We just need more parameters added to this function, so they get removed.…all the way…
