I feel like it would be better as a toggle in the settings? I wonder if they envision it as something that's always enabled for everyone in the future.
Maybe it's already in about:config? Not sure.
It's a selection in the right click menu. How much more optional do you need it to be?
I would prefer to have only one of the options in the menu - the one I want to use. I'm not going to change my mind on whether I want trackers stripped on a day-by-day basis, and I think having both taking up space at the same time is bad UX.
You can consider using Stonecrusher's "simpleMenuWizard" to apply custom CSS to hide a menu item. (Disclaimers: I'm not affiliated with the developer, and I haven't used this myself.)
https://github.com/stonecrusher/simpleMenuWizard
The simpleMenuWizard "link-context.css" file contains a commented list of the IDs of most of the menuitem elements of link context menus.
https://github.com/stonecrusher/simpleMenuWizard/blob/master/simpleMenuWizard/link-context.css
As listed there, the "Copy Link" menuitem element's ID is "context-copylink". If you want to hide that menu item, you would uncomment that line in the list (by removing the '/*' at the beginning of the line) as described in Step 5 of the simpleMenuWizard instructions.
At the time when I'm writing this reply, the aforementioned list hasn't yet been updated to include the "Copy Link Without Site Tracking" menuitem's ID. If you want to hide that menu item, sorry I can't check its ID for you right now, but here's how you can find it:
Enable and open the Browser Toolbox.
https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/devtools-user/browser_toolbox/
In the Browser Toolbox, click its 3-dots icon to get an options menu. Click "Disable popup auto-hide", to make context menus persistent. Invoke a context menu on a link (the menu should persist). Use the toolbox inspector's element picker to pick the menu item that you want to hide. Then you can find that menuitem element's "id" attribute in the inspector. (Open the 3-dots menu again and click "Disable popup auto-hide" again to re-enable auto-hide.)
