Currently still in Nightly and only on 'Copy Link'. Still nice progress though.

This should be default, or at least a switch, that if enabled, all links copied without tracking. BTW i was thinking, isnt there a simple app or service, that does only this: listen for links in clipboard, if a link added, automatically removes tracking params, and replaces with that on clipboard?

IMO this shouldn't be default, since it messes with the link you're copying, not only because of the potential to break.
