Every time I do a Google search the link that appears in the address bar includes garbage text (see image). For example, if I search for "sustainability", the address bar shows me this url: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=sustainability ; however, I would like it to only show me something like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=sustainability

What can i do?

Thanks for the answers

This is necessary due to revenue we get from the search engine. I don't think it can be removed.

You can always edit the url in the location bar before copying the text to the clipboard. In a lot of cases I have a link with a lot more unneeded junk present, especially if you modify the search term ('oq' parameter and a lot more that needs a cleanup). I usually use a keyword search to specify my own parameters.
