ClearURLs was my go to on Firefox, I think it's still great but it gave me trouble on a couple of sites because it modified the url in the address bar (it was like AliExpress and shopee, Chinese e-commerce sites that look like a web dev vomited, so I hardly blame ClearURLs)
Firefox also now has "copy clean link" when you right click the url bar which also works great.
I also use URLCheck on my phone. Made it the default browser and it pops up with options to clean the link and choose which browser to open it with

You can remove it, it tells YouTube how you got to that video. In this case someone shared it.

Yeah, wikipedia does something similar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fediverse?wprov=sfla1
The stuff after
?indicates that the article was shared. I usually don't remove it to let wikipedia have some user stats. -

Thing I find funny is when the url seems to indicate you came from an email or something. Now if I share it, anyone who clicks will also count as coming from an email. Dumass ruining your own statistics

I always do this when I post YouTube links. Be damned if I want to be associated with you lot! (Seriously though, it’s a good idea to do)

So annoying to always have to find out how far you can trim a URL before it breaks.
Typically anything after the "?". That's where the parameters live. There are always exceptions.

Everything after the ? can be safely removed
This is usually true but but not always. There's often times when a URL query like that is used to choose the page to load. I believe wordpress does this
