There’s a new item in the content context menu in Nightly that lets you copy URLs to the clipboard, but with known tracking parameters stripped:

Good to see Mozilla playing catch up.

'Copy clean link' has been available for a few months, on Brave privacy browser.

Does Edge or Chrome have similar built-in features?

Just tested it in a fresh Nightly profile, but noticed it doesn't catch all tracking parameters.
E.g. a Google search result link still gives something like this:
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwitoK6HsqiCAxXUg_0HHcBrA904ChAWegQIFhAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fpetsenco.nl%2Fhamsters%2F&usg=AOvVaw3T6BhmhxKidNRG68ws5vKL&opi=89978449.

To counter a large number of these tracking parameters on a lot of sites, I use these lists in uBlock Origin:
AdGuard Tracking Protection (built-in)
Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool (added to "Custom")
