Currently still in Nightly and only on ‘Copy Link’. Still nice progress though.

    Nothing provided it is an honest and upfront with consent from the user. The problem is vast majority of affiliate links are non-consensual, buried in articles and in the worst case are the reason that pages even exist - “top ten dishwashers”, “50 gifts to buy your wife for Christmas” etc. clickbait garbage. I doubt most visitors even understand that’s why the pages exist or the financial remuneration they get from making these lists.

    So it would not be a bad thing that if a browser to detect an affiliate link and ask you if you wanted to follow it as-is or strip the affiliate info out with a checkbox to remember the decision for the site.
