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)
If Apple can do it, Mozilla can do it: https://www.zdnet.com/article/how-to-remove-tracking-info-from-links-in-macos-safari-and-reclaim-your-privacy/
