sɣur Maxim Borkunov, 6 jaar geledenWorks 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 added

Can you add them too? - Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Korwin, 5 maanden geleden
- Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 16817970, 10 maanden geledenI 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. - Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 13192725, 10 maanden geledenis it possible to add guccounter for yahoo?

yeffeɣ-d deg 4 maanden geledenLooks 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. - Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur Hamtaro, 2 jaar geleden

yeffeɣ-d deg 4 maanden geledenMeant 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!

Would it be possible to also get rid of "xtor" parameter? - Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Beachbubba, 4 jaar geledenIs this extension still relevant in Firefox versions 91+?
Edit: Also, does it play well with uBlock Origin?Tiririt n ineflayen
yeffeɣ-d deg 4 jaar geledenYes, 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. - Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur int_ua, 5 jaar geleden

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

yeffeɣ-d deg 5 jaar geledenI 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. - Yettwasezmel 3 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 5702412, 5 jaar geledenJust 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.

yeffeɣ-d deg 5 jaar geledenFacebook 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"? - Yettwasezmel 5 ɣef 5sɣur Aseqdac Firefox 15940033, 5 jaar geleden

- Yettwasezmel 4 ɣef 5sɣur Alexis Prel, 6 jaar geledenIt 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!Tiririt n ineflayen
yeffeɣ-d deg 5 jaar geledenThank 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!
