- Z 5 z 5 pohódnoćenywot Wužiwar Firefox 18902095, 5 mesi fayoutube uses tags like ?si=
Can you add them too? - Z 4 z 5 pohódnoćenywot Wužiwar Firefox 16817970, 10 mesi faI 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 pohódnoćenywot Wužiwar Firefox 13192725, 10 mesi fais it possible to add guccounter for yahoo?

je so 5 mesi fa napisałLooks 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. Wotmołwa wuwiwarja
je so 5 mesi fa napisałMeant to respond back to you awhile ago but I merged in a PR (that I assume it from you based on your username) that added ysclid, roughly 2 years ago!

- Z 4 z 5 pohódnoćenywot Wužiwar Firefox 13361818, 4 anni faVery nice so far.
Would it be possible to also get rid of "xtor" parameter? - Z 4 z 5 pohódnoćenywot Beachbubba, 4 anni faIs this extension still relevant in Firefox versions 91+?
Edit: Also, does it play well with uBlock Origin?Wotmołwa wuwiwarja
je so 4 anni fa napisałYes, absolutely! Right now it is currently working on Firefox 95+. Sorry for not responding to this for so long, I must not have seen the notification. Wotmołwa wuwiwarja
je so 5 anni fa napisałHere you go. It's on the "Support site" link/button but I'll add it to the description too!

- I think it works good so far!
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

je so 5 anni fa napisałI 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 pohódnoćenywot Wužiwar Firefox 5702412, 5 anni faJust 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.

je so 5 anni fa napisałFacebook 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 pohódnoćenywot Wužiwar Firefox 15940033, 5 anni fa
- Z 4 z 5 pohódnoćenywot Alexis Prel, 6 anni faIt simply does the job, thanks a lot for that!
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!Wotmołwa wuwiwarja

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 addedWotmołwa wuwiwarja
je so 6 anni fa napisałThanks for your review! I'll add utm_referrer to the list in the next update.
