Your YouTube link contains ?si= which is at least not necessary, I think this is a tracking token too?

You can remove everything except the ID after yt. be/ID and the URL will stay intact

Better yet you can copy the string after /watch?= and pass it to yewtu.be/watch?= or some other invidious intance to minimise tracking with an alternative youtube frontend

I considered this but these instances are sometimes a bit unreliable and go down from time to time. Also mobile UX is more pleasant with native URLs (so you can open NewPipe or the YouTube app with them)
