Lately I’ve noticed some mainstream sites injection tracking links into literally every link on their site.

When I hover over it, it shows the correct link at the bottom of my browser, but if I click it or copy it, it takes me to a hijacked tracker link.

Then I can’t even get the original link without having my activity tracked.

How do I get the original link that appears at the bottom of my browser?

    Maybe don’t use Facebook or any other site that does this?

    I’ve been told this is an unreasonable solution.

      It’s a solution. Sadly, it doesn’t solve the problem in a way that satisfies the OP. So, yeah. Not really a resonable solution for OP or most people.

      Not helpful, thanks.

      Not really going to justify my usage but suffice it to say my business is largely dependent on networking with the people who are active on social media.

      Twitter and Reddit I am “read only” via Stealth and Squawker.

        Its a private company and whatever their users post is their property so they can do anything they want with it. As someone else suggested to stop using Facebook, if you can’t then please stop complaining.
