Lately I’ve noticed some mainstream sites injection tracking links into literally every link on their site.
When I hover over it, it shows the correct link at the bottom of my browser, but if I click it or copy it, it takes me to a hijacked tracker link.
Then I can’t even get the original link without having my activity tracked.
How do I get the original link that appears at the bottom of my browser?

Maybe don’t use Facebook or any other site that does this?
I’ve been told this is an unreasonable solution.
It’s a solution. Sadly, it doesn’t solve the problem in a way that satisfies the OP. So, yeah. Not really a resonable solution for OP or most people.

Its a private company and whatever their users post is their property so they can do anything they want with it. As someone else suggested to stop using Facebook, if you can’t then please stop complaining.

Life must be really hard for you. Get help before its too late
That sounds more like malware then. Links from Twitter shouldn’t have any Facebook tracking info.
Check your browser for any extensions that you don’t recognise, and if you’re on Windows, download and run the free version of Malwarebytes.

So this isn’t Facebook on every occasion then, it’s related to the site you’re visiting? If so, the extension will hopefully fix it :)

no, links from Twitter are instead automatically converted to a t.co URL.
