Currently still in Nightly and only on 'Copy Link'. Still nice progress though.

It’s a shame they went for the additional option rather than a persistent setting that would always strip it from a URI.

Hoping that this is just testing for that to come.

Ublock can strip it from the URL automatically, though if the website checkw this it might block stuff :/
Would need some deeper integration to be able to separate the URL bar the Website sees and the one you see. (like the current separation of the DOM)
