It's not the tracking info that breaks it, it's that when the receiving device tries to parse the long url and figure out what part is a link and what part is just text, winds up with a broken link.

I'm not able to find an immediate example but usually happens when sharing links via a format that doesn't explicitly format them as links, such as SMS

As a rule I don't install any add-ons or extensions. Because a trusted extension today can become malicious tomorrow as has happened so many times.
