🎬 Safari in #macOS 14 #iOS/#iPadOS 17 removes tracking added to URLs in private browsing. The feature didn't support Twitter links when we tested it earlier. Now it does (unclear if #Apple updated it remotely or Safari learned that through its #AI model).
In this demo, Safari opens a Twitter link with tracking added to it in this parameter:
t=rpDAfXAHMthyq-L5hTMOIA
Safari identifies and removes the tracking parameter before opening the link. This is shown by copying the link after the website is loaded and pasting it to see that the tracking parameter has been removed from the original link 👍👍🙏
