Safari have it built in for many pages, all that publish a rel-canonical will see Safari share that URL instead – as a way to avoid sharing AMP URL:s I believe

Bad that Twitter isn’t publishing such or is publishing it with tracking

I'm not sure it's even Twitter's fault. Usually it happens when I click an embedded Tweet from a blog post and then copy the URL from the URL bar. It's the blog that adds the tracking data. (Does anyone know why a blog would even care to do that? Does Twitter offer some kind of analytics dashboard where you can segment views of your tweets based on query parameters?)

Twitter adds some crap on automatically whenever you click "Copy link to Tweet"

Also, they do have an analytics dashboard: https://business.twitter.com/en/help/campaign-measurement-an...

Oh, if you copy from the URL bar then you will always get the exact URL on iOS Safari, but if you copy it from the share sheet you will get the cleaner one
