No need to remove the URL tracking parameters manually. 🥳

If anything, URLCheck is even more necessary on mobile devices, particularly iOS where Firefox is just reskinned Safari. On Firefox for Android, you could install the ClearURLs extension, or use uBlock Origin filter lists.

With that said, there are other use cases. For example: Friends or family might share URLs from social media. They often contain unique identifiers that you can strip before clicking the link by using URLCheck.

Good points. I was under the impression, though, that the extension doesn't exist for mobile Firefox yet.
