    Why wouldn’t this simply be default behavior, and then they could add a “Copy link with tracking” menu item?

      It might become the default a little later on, they want to make sure it works ok first as an experimental feature before pushing it as a default would be my guess.

      I do that manually. In about 1 out of 10, what looks like tracking stuff is actually needed for the link to work. So I’d expect that copy without site tracking option to not work 100% of the time.

        Probably just removes known tracking GET parameters like utm_*. Just from a parameter name and content it is impossble to infer the use.
