AuraWulf VS YouTube tracking links the BIG difference?
One little hack for internet users, whether a advanced power user/developer or just average user look at my website URLs compared to YouTube if you're confused why AuraWulf doesn't have "?" Text sequences compared to YouTube the Reason will shock you.

Everything after "?" Are perfectly safe to remove and you can easily see exactly what that looks like though it can have unintended consequence.

Have you ever felt like the internets watching you?
Remember if you believe you're encrypted chats are private they're not the company controlling the encryption can protect you but not stop your foolish human arrogance (Sharing Copied URLs) subjects you to tracking messages are private but they know you've been messaging people which isn't helpful when you want only absolute privacy many companies inject tracking codes into the URL The si stands for "share identifier," a tracking parameter YouTube automatically appends whenever a link is generated via their share button.
Now you're probably going to start hyperventilating and saying end-to-end encryption is completely compromised and thankfully NO IT'S NOT stripping down the URL of anything after "?" Will prevent tracking via links it does tell rather compromising story of what exact app you we're using though it does not see into your private messages rest assured of course some urls do have "?" Not just for tracking but for in platform action or navigation purposes regardless the consequence is a less smarter app with a reward of not being tracked as a developer myself I've always stripped the links to avoid trackers and very careful when supporting links that need hyperspecific long random string and pieces.
