Simpsons bus driver scene where the driver highlights that during the drive no one should speak with him. Memefied.

Top first-person view of the driver; the driver drives and looks forward.
Middle caption: Don't make me tap this sign.
Bottom caption: Remove everything after the ? in URLs so we aren't all tracked by clicking on it, yellow four-fingered index finger points at altered caption. #satire"

@nemo I spend so much time removing query strings when I share URLs. I should make a browser extension that removes them on copy. 🤔

@markwyner I also go through such Kahootz when I share anything, checking it double, triple, quadruple, and n-tuple times 😅. When I see folks carelessly doing it, I'm like, 'bruh!' 😁 hahaha Ahhh…!

I think some Firefox-based browsers offer the option to remove tracking when you right-click. For example, Tor allows you to copy without site tracking.

@markwyner (2/2) In Mullvad, it copies, clean link(right-click on the link), it is based on the Tor browser.

In Brave, it also copies a clean link(right-click on the link). I also think that Freetube and NewPipe do this automatically for their links, afaik.

Still, the other companies be like, We don't give a flying F*ktus! 🤦 xD
