Or when you Google something and copy a link straight from their search page. Novel-length URLs.
This is so frustrating, I just want the url, but NO, you can an escaped version of the URL embedded inside another escaped blob instead. Ditto with Facebook.

How would Microsoft, Google and Facebook otherwise be able to track when and what you click?! Think of the hit to their revenue!
Microsoft also provides a URL lengthener via "Advanced Outlook.com security for Office 365 subscribers". Thanks to them, any URL we send or receive by email at work turns into an unrecognizable monster. At least the links include comforting words like "safelinks" and "protection" so that everyone can feel safe and protected.

You put a `ping` attribute on a link, and when the user follows the link, the browser sends a request to the ping URL notifying it of the action.
Firefox disables it by default, which doesn’t seem like much of a privacy win considering JavaScript is enabled by default and can polyfill this functionality.
