Privacy issue, links for sharing questions, answers contains user ID

please do not add user ID to the links given to users when they click to share the link to an answer (for example there: Slow ext4 fsck , yet i see that it does not happen in all sites/questions ). When you move the mouse over your profile buttons in the top right bar, you can see the user number in the browser bottom status bar.

When i post such link publicly i disclose my probable user ID that i have on this site, pairing my identity.

I would like to prevent this without need to always remember removing the ID from the URL.

I was checking Firefox web browser addons if there is any that modify clipboard contents but unable to find after quick look. I am using Linux currently, there is something for it, but I have not tested it if it works as it does not seem much convenient.

Ideal would be if this tracking practice is removed.
