Can you add them too? - Z 4 z 5 pógódnośonywót Korwin, 2 moannen lyn
- Z 4 z 5 pógódnośonywót Wužywaŕ Firefox 16817970, 7 moannen lynI found some more tracking parameters.
Because many sites are realizing we massively block or spoof the referrer header, they started putting them in the URL instead. Here are a few I found:
?referrer=
?ref=
?r=
The last one is probably hard to safely remove because it may be a legit parameter for a dynamic site. Props to whoever thought of using that to smuggle the referrer. - Z 4 z 5 pógódnośonywót Wužywaŕ Firefox 13192725, 7 moannen lynis it possible to add guccounter for yahoo?
Wótegrono wuwijarja
jo se napisał ien moanne lynLooks like that parameter is literally just a "counter". Maybe it increments but all I've seen lately is "?guccounter=1". Doesn't look like a tracking ID to me so I'm probably going to skip this for now. Good find though, thanks for asking. - Z 5 z 5 pógódnośonywót Hamtaro, 2 jierren lyn

Edit: Also, does it play well with uBlock Origin?Wótegrono wuwijarja

If you did the copy link url thing working like in the previous comment, it isn't removing fbclid with the ascii escape charactors in the url like:
https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dataplicity.com%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIw&h=AjU
(greatly shortened for readability)Wótegrono wuwijarja
jo se napisał 5 jierren lynI haven't done anything for "Copy link location" yet. It would require obtaining clipboard permissions and adding significantly to the codebase, so I'm probably not getting around to it any time soon to be honest. Best thing is just open the link in a new tab and then copy/paste that URL. - Z 3 z 5 pógódnośonywót Wužywaŕ Firefox 5702412, 5 jierren lynJust tested it with Firefox 76.0.1.
Let me update my review:
What's good:
It does stop the end site from seeing the ?fbclid parameter. I reconfirmed this with mitmproxy. (Live HTTP headers on the other hand showed the unchanged HTTP request).
How it could be better:
1) Changes the URL presented by facebook to the end URL, so that facebook doesn't know you've clicked on a link, and
2) All right-click copy link to copy the end link, rather than the facebook link.

jo se napisał 5 jierren lynFacebook uses some php link redirector thing when you click outgoing links. When the URL finishes loading (using the one you posted as an example) does it redirect to "https://www.theonion.com/tyson-promises-meatpackers-who-die-from-coronavirus-wil-1843678529"? - Z 5 z 5 pógódnośonywót Wužywaŕ Firefox 15940033, 5 jierren lyn

I did wish it would also remove the fbclid when I do a right click + "Copy link location", to share URLs via e-mails. Not sure if that's possible, but I would definitely love to see that!Wótegrono wuwijarja
jo se napisał 5 jierren lynThank you for your review! Going to start looking into removing fbclid and utms on copy link location and getting that into a new release ASAP! - Z 5 z 5 pógódnośonywót Maxim Borkunov, 5 jierren lynWorks like a charm. Thank you for your job.
Noticed a site which also uses utm_referrer
yandex.com/news
It's a news aggregator. When you open an article and follow to origin sources then utm_referrer is addedWótegrono wuwijarja
jo se napisał 5 jierren lynThanks for your review! I'll add utm_referrer to the list in the next update.
