How I'm bypassing tumblr's new tracking bullshit

On mobile, I tried to remove Tumblr's URL tracking bullshit from a link -- as per @pizza-and-ramen's post -- but it wasn't working anymore.

Came to realize that Tumblr was generating a new "post ID" every time I tried to copy the link.

So here's what I did.

Open a web browser 👐

Search the URL of the blog you're linking from 🔍

Click on their page in the results ↖️

Deny any prompting to open in the app. 🚫 Stay in the browser

Search for the post in question 🔍

Click the meatball menu (•••) on the post and select "Permalink" ⛓

Check the URL in your URL bar for any other tracking crap such as /amp and remove it ✂️

Copy the new URL now in your URL bar 📀

Safely paste to your heart's content 💙

👍👍👍

Edit: see here please (':

Link as plain text for copy-pasting: https://guiltyidealist.tumblr.com/post/701939743936643072/hey-is-anybody-else-having-issues-with-shinigami

Hey is anybody else having issues with Shinigami eyes? It’s not marking things as t-friendly or anti-trans like it used to for me, telling me

This item could not be labeled. Possible reasons:

It doesn’t represent a specific user or page

It’s not the kind of item supported by Shinigami Eyes

I’m trying to mark this (link is tracking-free) but it gave me this pop-up for their page as well and for every other raddie user and post I tried to mark

Tumblr tracker update

Today I opened my tumblr app and to my surprise I was on a post I never seen before. It was a post about a fandom I am not really in nor is anyone I follow. I realized it wasn’t my timeline, it was just the post, as if someone sent it to me and I opened it. I thought it was funny so I turned my phone to my sister whose face quickly turned to shock. She sent that post to our sibling (my siblings and I are share a house)

We did some experiments. It only happens when my sister (app) texts a link to my sibling (phone website) without getting rid of tumblrs new tracking. My sibling has to have opened the link but without fail, the next time I open my app, I will see that post

So remember this (the original is deleted but here’s a rb):

Delete the red!!

#tumblr #tumblr tracking #important #references #I don’t know what to tag this but I hate that this happens #like my siblings and I are chill but I don’t understand how or why this happens #unsurebasil

had a fucking hilarious dream that tumblr replaced the "block" function with the far funnier "glock" function, which did the exact same thing except whenever anyone blocked you a random bullet hole, like a png of a bullet hole, would appear on your blog. discourse blogs were unreadable bc you'd go to the page and the sheer amount of bullet hole pngs stacked over the blogs obscured everything. I woke myself up laughing

#normally I don't chronicle my dreams here but fucking hell that one was funny #I think this would genuinely make tumblr better tbh #@ staff do this cowards #spy has thoughts #my life is a sitcom and i am my own laugh track #functional website #spy's smash hits #Glock function #edit for everyone in the notes saying 'everyone clapped'#I know I can't prove to you that it happened for real you're just gonna have to trust me on this #but I swear on my goddamn life I'm not making this up #I make so many conscious puns that sometimes my subconscious cooks up a real good one

friend wanted to see my tumblr, and when i told him i can’t show it to him bc it’s basically my personal diary he went “oh so I can’t see it but a bunch of strangers on tumblr can??” he literally does not get me. no one will get me like the people in my phone get me

#It’s just so different #even though it’s public it still feels secret and safe. i feel comfy sharing a lot more on here than I do in my actual day to day life lol #in my head I’m also just speaking to myself 90% of the time which helps #if a friend off tumblr saw my thoughts I’d feel so weird ab it #esp bc they might get the vagueposting about certain situations and tell mutual friends #no thank u. this is for me. I’m not about to start censoring my thoughts bc someone I know knows my tumblr #u guys literally saw me have LIVE BREAKDOWNS #meanwhile I’ll have the worst fucking day in history and tell no one about it. I’m already cripplingly private but way more so in real life #this is basically a low stress journaling outlet for me. it’s so important for me to maintain the separation #like this is actually my diary & has been so handy for letting out emotions / articulating thoughts / staying on track !!#& I’ve met so many kind people on here who actually get me. which is so hard to find irl bc I’m surrounded by pre-med gunners/overachievers #who are by standard not very good w emotion & can be competitive/judgmental. or at least it’s hard for me to be vulnerable in front of them #and I’m part of that crowd so I reserve my emotions only to a handful of very close friends #it’s nice to hop on here and express negative emotions!! or positive emotions!! just whatever I want and it’s low stress and people get me #I don’t have to worry about judgment or competitiveness etc etc #like everyone on here is so kind & nice & understanding. & just a breath of fresh air from the types I run w. it’s just nice to have this #so idk that’s why I think I’ll always be strict about keeping the worlds separate. it just works #p

Tumblr is Tracking Shared Links

It looks like Tumblr @staff have finally implemented tracking garbage into shared links in the Tumblr mobile app. It took them years and years, but Tumblr is finally making an attempt to track shared links you click or links you share with friends.

When you share a post and choose to “copy” a link to your clipboard, you can see that they use their (new?) url shortener, at.tumblr.com. The shortened URL appears to contain: your blog name; either the ID of the destination post, or the short string associated with the post; and an alphanumeric string. Eg:

https://at.tumblr.com/pizza-and-ramen/im-fucking-dying-this-is-hilarious/uqndb20nkyob

The shortened URL redirects you to the destination link, but with 2 URL parameters: _branch_referrer and _branch_match_id. Both are associated with a third-party analytics tool, branch.io. Eg:

https://pizza-and-ramen.tumblr.com/post/118684413624/im-fucking-dying-this-is-hilarious?_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAAxXEwQ2AIAwAwIlKH8aP21RQaaSAUIIyvZpczqvmuiCSGm2yhmJsEsw8BgFFB4Vki8gCe7MnxwPc86%2BeK3w8ByqcWsU7jHnql0u99xd0v%2FAuVQAAAA%3D%3D&_branch_match_id=1104914739086906151

_branch_referrer appears to be another shortened at.tumblr.com URL, except it’s been gzipped, base64 encoded, then URL encoded. Eg:

H4sIAAAAAAAAAxXEwQ2AIAwAwIlKH8aP21RQaaSAUIIyvZpczqvmuiCSGm2yhmJsEsw8BgFFB4Vki8gCe7MnxwPc86%2BeK3w8ByqcWsU7jHnql0u99xd0v%2FAuVQAAAA%3D%3D

URL decode to:

H4sIAAAAAAAAAxXEwQ2AIAwAwIlKH8aP21RQaaSAUIIyvZpczqvmuiCSGm2yhmJsEsw8BgFFB4Vki8gCe7MnxwPc86+eK3w8ByqcWsU7jHnql0u99xd0v/AuVQAAAA==

base64 decode to (in hex for legibility):

1F8B0800 00000000 000315C4 C10D8020 0C00C089 4A1FC68F DB545069 A4805082 32BD9A5C CEABE6BA 20921A6D B286626C 12CC3C06 01450785 648BC802 7BB327C7 03DCF3AF 9E2B7C3C 072A9C5A C53B8C79 EA974BBD F71774BF F02E5500 0000

and unzipped with gunzip:

https://at.tumblr.com/pizza-and-ramen/im-fucking-dying-this-is-hilarious/xlz53wqdowww

which directs to the post with the same _branch_referrer but a new _branch_match_id:

https://pizza-and-ramen.tumblr.com/post/118684413624/im-fucking-dying-this-is-hilarious?_branch_match_id=1104899685865808870&_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAAxXEwQ2AIAwAwIlKH8aP21RQaaSAUIIyvZpczqvmuiCSGm2yhmJsEsw8BgFFB4Vki8gCe7MnxwPc86%2BeK3w8ByqcWsU7jHnql0u99xd0v%2FAuVQAAAA%3D%3D

_branch_match_id, according to this stackoverflow answer, is an identifier unique to you, used to track users. It could be based on browser fingerprinting, as branch.io’s branch_match_id is.

Anyway, there’s not a terribly easy way to avoid this tracking from the Tumblr mobile app, but if you get a link that has the id, not the string, you can modify it to the format of blog.tumblr.com/ID, like so before sending it to a friend:

https://at.tumblr.com/pizza-and-ramen/118684413624/uqndb20nkyob

https://pizza-and-ramen.tumblr.com/118684413624

Alternately, you could paste the link in your browser, allow it to redirect, then remove everything past the ? at the end, eg:

https://pizza-and-ramen.tumblr.com/post/118684413624/im-fucking-dying-this-is-hilarious?_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAAxXEwQ2AIAwAwIlKH8aP21RQaaSAUIIyvZpczqvmuiCSGm2yhmJsEsw8BgFFB4Vki8gCe7MnxwPc86%2BeK3w8ByqcWsU7jHnql0u99xd0v%2FAuVQAAAA%3D%3D&_branch_match_id=1104914739086906151

https://pizza-and-ramen.tumblr.com/post/118684413624/im-fucking-dying-this-is-hilarious

Anyway, this has been my privacy rant of the day. Thanks for reading, and let me know if you know more about this than I do!

🔗 ；⸺ at.tumblr.com links remover

[image description: a screenshot of an online tool that says “tumblr - remove at.tumblr.com on link shares”. The prompt label says “Paste in the Tumblr link you copied”, and includes two examples of such links. It finishes with a button that says “Do the thing please”, with all the words capitalized, and a click icon. end ID ]

📢 As of 2023/03/24, Tumblr are no longer enforcing at.tumblr.com links when you copy a link from the mobile/app. [Read More]

When a post link is copied via mobile, it can appear as the following variants:

𝟙 〜 at.tumblr.com / {𝚞𝚜𝚎𝚛𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎} / {𝚌𝚊𝚙𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗_𝚝𝚎𝚡𝚝} / {𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐_𝚒𝚍} 𝟚 〜 at.tumblr.com / {𝚞𝚜𝚎𝚛𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎} / {𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚝_𝚒𝚍} / {𝚝𝚛𝚊𝚌𝚔𝚒𝚗𝚐_𝚒𝚍} 𝟛 〜 tumblr.com / {𝚞𝚜𝚎𝚛𝚗𝚊𝚖𝚎} / post / {𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚝_𝚒𝚍}

I made a tool that converts them back to their original permalinks so when they’re shared on social media, the previews should show again.

👉🏼 at-tumblr-links.glitch.me

You can bookmark this on your phone or your desktop browser so you can quickly access it when you need it!

Currently, it’s not known which at.tumblr.com link format will proc under what circumstances. If it has a 𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚝_𝚒𝚍 in it, that’s good news. If it doesn’t, we need to ask a URL un-shortener service to follow the redirects for us. But this tool should accommodate any format regardless. It’s not perfect, but I hope it helps.

Read more about at.tumblr.com tracking links [here].

If you run into any issues, you can report them to me via Discord or Tumblr ask.
