The problem with a nuclear solution like that is that some sites use query parameters as actual query parameters. Like DuckDuckGo.

Yeah, though that should only be an issue if the link you're copying needs to show query results instead of a more permanent page such as a product listing or a video on YouTube.

In general, the conventions and standards are followed. But yeah, linking to search results without tracking bullshit is kind of challenging.
