Re:Chrome browser will detect what URL you copied by onion2k on Thursday May 10, 2018 @05:28AM (#17037392)
It does work for me.

Load https://www.w3schools.com/?utm_source=facebook in a new tab.

Highlight "https://www.w3schools.com" in the URL in the address bar.

Copy.

Paste in to Notepad and get "https://www.w3schools.com/?utm_source=facebook".

However, it's any GET vars that seem to be copied. Doing the same thing on https://www.w3schools.com/?abcdef=facebook has the same effect. It only seems to happen on W3Schools too. I suspect it's the site trying to be do something rather than anything nefarious by Chrome.
