Yes. Buried in the settings there’s an option to disable it

    I see you took the screenshot on your phone, I just tried it on mine and had no issues getting the proper link, even after updating it as I wrote this comment.

    Can you describe more about where you encountered it?

      It’s only for links shared via WhatsApp for some reason. Not sure how they know you’re sharing to WhatsApp… (Edit: firefox implements a custom share widget instead of the one provided by the OS, so they get a callback when the user selects the target)

      OP is wrong about the “unique” part tho, I get the same URL as them.

      They detect sharing on WhatsApp and inject the tracking link only on that case. It didn’t do this yesterday so there’s a chance it’s on a/b testing
