The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Audio/Video: Playback' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Currently, Copy without Site Tracking is not meant to support cases like this that involve a redirect link, this is more a kin to bounce protection. We may potentially look into this in the next version of Copy without Site Tracking but in its current iteration we don't support this.

This is an automated duplicate detection tool. It suggests that this bug should be marked as a duplicate of Bug 1865853. The reasoning is: Both report Copy Clean Link / Copy Link Without Site Tracking failing to strip tracking when the real destination is nested inside a redirect / wrapper URL (google.com/url?url=... on Google Images and Search; youtube.com/redirect?... on YouTube description links): the feature does not unwrap the inner URL. Same defect, different sites.
