 #GN . Is there any one to explain me what is the function of "?si=EFG" part in a YouTube or X link exactly? because by remove that part, the link still works!

 Aha. Then you say this part of link can use to identify our device, IP or account? Like metadata

 تو اکثر لینکها میتونید قسمت بعد از علامت سوال رو حذف کنید. اون مربوط به مشخصات دستگاه خودتون میشه. مثلا اینکه از اپ وب استفاده کردید یا اندروید و این چیزا
