Tracking data in URLs doesn't make your browsing experience less decent.

It does when you like sharing links with your friends. I would have to manually clean these up before.

Not all tracking is user-specific, but you do raise an interesting point, how to (thinking as a site owner) remove personal info from the URL, but still pass that info around locally.

Cookies is one way (if we stick to the domain), possibly using sidecar AJAX requests and localState is another.

Or maybe we can leave it all in the URL, but encrypt it with a key in a cookie, thus without the cookie, the info is recognized as foreign when passed around. Hmm yeah, not bad.

When all websites are tracking you and keeping tabs on your that's hardly decent
