What do you mean? Tons of links on the web have trackers appended to the URL.
Pretty sure they are asking, "Why would I ever want the tracking copied, why is this relegated to a bespoke option instead of being the default behavior?"
I think it's good to have a normal copy along with this remove tracking one. In case for some reason removing tracking messes something up with the link and makes it not work. It's always nice to have options rather than just doing it automatically.
agree with you about having options, but swap it around. have copy without trackers be "copy link", and then have an option "copy link with trackers"
I disagree. I think the default option should be what users expect, and users expect "copy" to do exactly that: copy without modifying the text.
I think we could have an about:config tweak to make copying links always remove trackers
