"With the release of Firefox 102, Mozilla has added the new 'Query Parameter Stripping' feature that automatically strips various query parameters used for tracking from URLs when you open them, whether that be by clicking on a link or simply pasting the URL into the address bar.

Once enabled, Mozilla Firefox will now strip the following tracking parameters from URLs when you click on links or paste an URL into the address bar:

Olytics: oly_enc_id=, oly_anon_id=
Drip: __s=
Vero: vero_id=
HubSpot: _hsenc=
Marketo: mkt_tok=
Facebook: fbclid=, mc_eid=
...
there are additional trackers that are not being filtered, which privacy-focused Brave Browser currently blocks."

To what use is it to change the names in querystring? unsure.gif

For the tracking companies? For tracking, I suppose. Not sure exactly how it's done.
