If you want an extension for Chrome-based browsers (and maybe Firefox too, can't vouch for it though), use CleanURLs. It automatically removes these while you're on the site so you don't have to manually remove them when copying! It doesn't work on every site but I've yet to find one where it hasn't

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven
Header text: "HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS!" This is followed by a couple example urls, with a red square highlighting the sections with source identifiers. The rest of the text is as follows: Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity. When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers. Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

Postponing this Vite plugin release some because of npm maintenance

In the meantime, I am adding a `cleanUrls` option to our reverse proxy, which will enable cleanUrls support just like VitePress

Voor stoute websites gaat bij mij de Javascript gewoon uit ("Disable Javascript plugin op FF). Verrassend hoe vaak dat de ervaring 100% beter maakt.

Naast deze hele verdegingslinie: Privacy badger, Decentraleyes, CleanURLs, FB Container, AdBlock, Control Panel for Xitter en TamperMonkey.

if you have firefox, I'm pretty sure they now automatically let you "Copy Clean Link" and if they don't, the CleanURLs add on does! there's some sites where you can't remove things after the "?", like YouTube, because those actually serve a purpose.

(I don't use Chrome so don't ask)
