It doesn't have to be this way. There are many steps you can take to prevent trackers from stalking you across the internet—some more intense than others. And while stripping tracking URLs from links isn't new, it isn't exactly common knowledge, either. That's why whenever a company makes it a bit easier, I'm all for it, so today I'm celebrating DuckDuckGo.
The feature, "Copy Clean Link," doesn't do anything you couldn't do yourself. As ZDNet explains, the feature cuts out everything in the URL in question from the "?" on; essentially, all of the tracking information. Without that data, you turn the URL into a "clean" link, so trackers won't necessarily know you're the user who shared that URL in the first place. You can do this yourself by opening the URL and deleting this text manually, but tapping Copy Clean Link is certainly more convenient.
DuckDuckGo's Copy Clean Link is an iOS-only feature for now
At this time, only iPhone users can use "Copy Clean Link" in DuckDuckGo. That doesn't mean that users of other platforms are out of luck: As previously mentioned, you can manually delete all characters in a URL starting with the "?" to achieve the same effect. That's easier done on desktop than mobile, of course.
If you need an alternative, Brave has a "Copy Clean Link" option as well. It works similarly to DuckDuckGo's—you can long-press the address bar on a webpage you're already visiting or, uniquely, you can long-press any link in the browser to get the option too.
