How does it know the difference between functional and tracking parameters? Would it handle something like ‘?page=1&order=desc&some_bullshit_marketing_param=kdnsskwjrjeisn’
I assume they've modeled it after ClearURLs, which exists as an addon here, and as a uBlock filter here. The short answer is it's a ton of whitelisted regex.
And the odd cases of false positives is probably why it's a separate field and not a replacement of the regular copy function.
