Copy Link Without Site Tracking Feature - Logic Issues

Winterbolt
Making moves

"Firefox supports a new “Copy Link Without Site Tracking” feature in the context menu which ensures that copied links no longer contain tracking information."
While this is a welcome change, i'd be much much more useful to replace “Copy Link Without Site Tracking” with “Open Link Without Site Tracking”...
Otherwise there's the needless waste of time manually open a new tab and paste the link...
This completely lacks any logic if you ask me, why didn't mozilla make it as i suggest above in the first place? Why the manually klick klick waste of time?

Agree on all of this. It might be a great feature, but it should be something you can check in the settings to have it as the default and forget about it.  It kept messing me up.  As someone wrote on reddit, "It was messing with my muscle memory as I always click on the longest looking text to select paste, but instead, I kept on pressing this other copy button instead."

At least now I know about about:config.

As usual, we get a "feature" we never asked for, which is implemented poorly, and which is shoehorned into the interface.  The number of times I go to paste a link and instead COPY A LINK I DIDNT WANT TO COPY is insane.  What kind of dumb design replaces a function with one that does the exact OPPOSITE of what it used to?  They seemingly do it on purpose as a way to brute force us into using the feature.  I am so sick of this crap.  I used to like opera because they let you change the interface, but even they started pulling the same crap with removing features and implementing features for reasons that were not in the best interest of the user.
