Yes. Buried in the settings there's an option to disable it

"Here is an option for you to anonymously browse, but you will have to let us know where you are going first" type anonymity.

Edit: I forgot to tell anonymity and privacy are two different things. Just telling it because some people might think they serve the same purpose.

What is your "privacy" browser... And how did you disable this?

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 15 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

It's Firefox, and there's a new "sharing" option in the menu that contains a toggle to disable this

[–] arin@lemmy.world 16 points 13 hours ago

Here is a sanitized Firefox fork https://librewolf.net/

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 15 hours ago

There's a ESR release.

Does this happen when you copypaste the URL?

Because messing with the clipboard is a really scary thing.

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world -5 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

No, only when using the share button

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 17 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

I see you took the screenshot on your phone, I just tried it on mine and had no issues getting the proper link, even after updating it as I wrote this comment.

Can you describe more about where you encountered it?

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 21 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (3 children)

It's only for links shared via WhatsApp for some reason. Not sure how they know you're sharing to WhatsApp... (Edit: firefox implements a custom share widget instead of the one provided by the OS, so they get a callback when the user selects the target)

OP is wrong about the "unique" part tho, I get the same URL as them.

[–] Acamon@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Just tried sharing to WhatsApp, using the Firefox share button, on android. Link is normal.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 1 points 16 hours ago

Ah interesting!

That explains why I don't see it!

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world -4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

They detect sharing on WhatsApp and inject the tracking link only on that case. It didn't do this yesterday so there's a chance it's on a/b testing

[–] towerful@programming.dev 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

You sure it's not WhatsApp that's link-shortening?

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Yes because the option to remove the advertisement link is inside Firefox. It might be that meta and Mozilla got some monetary agreement and this is even worse

[–] towerful@programming.dev 1 points 13 hours ago

Ah, I missed that part of the conversation

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 3 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Then just don't use it? Just copy the link from the url bar, the link is not even unique and it's the same for everyone and other than that you can delete the link so i don't see the problem, is really that wrong for a browser that risk to be oppressed by the chrorium monopoly to advertise itself? It's not even invasive...

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 6 points 17 hours ago

Sharing is much quicker than copy/pasting manually, especially with direct share targets.

It might not be the end of the world, but Mozilla really should have made the "feature" opt-in, or at least give us a heads up.

[–] nocksock@lemmy.zip 13 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Firefox is no longer a privacy browser.

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 4 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

Besides tor, known any other alternatives?

I mean, something like Lynx is probably as private as you get. Might be lacking a few features like, anything graphical. Still relatively usable imo

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 9 points 17 hours ago

Femnec on mobile, Librewolf on desktop
