This is done *before* the web request\nis made and results in both more private browsing as well as more aesthetically\npleasing URLs.\n\nYou can install this extension from the [Chrome Web Store][chrome-webstore],\n[Firefox Add-ons][firefox-addons], or [Edge Add-ons][edge-addons].\n\n\u003e [!IMPORTANT]\n\u003e Google Chrome and the Chrome Web Store now label Manifest V2 extensions as\n\u003e [\"unsupported\"](https://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/answer/2664769#unsupported_extensions).\n\u003e\n\u003e I'm not motivated to rewrite this extension from Manifest V2 to V3. The work\n\u003e appears to be non-trivial for this kind of extension, and after that amount\n\u003e of effort, it won't work any \"better\" than the current version.\n\u003e\n\u003e Please see the [list of alternatives](#alternatives) below if you need\n\u003e another solution.\n\n## Recognized Parameters\n\nThe following query string parameters are stripped:\n\n- Facebook\n  - `fbclid`\n- Google\n  - `gclid`\n  - `utm_source`\n  - `utm_medium`\n  - `utm_term`\n  - `utm_campaign`\n  - `utm_content`\n  - `utm_cid`\n  - `utm_internal`\n  - `utm_klaviyo_id`\n  - `utm_reader`\n  - `utm_referrer`\n  - `utm_name`\n  - `utm_social`\n  - `utm_social-type`\n- [ActiveCampaign](https://www.activecampaign.com/)\n  - `vgo_ee`\n- [HubSpot](https://www.hubspot.com/)\n  - `_hsenc`\n  - `_hsmi`\n- Instagram\n  - `igshid`\n- [Klaviyo](https://www.klaviyo.com/)\n  - `utm_klaviyo_id`\n- Mailchimp\n  - `mc_cid`\n  - `mc_eid`\n- [Marketo](https://www.marketo.com/)\n  - `mkt_tok`\n- Microsoft (MSN/Bing)\n  - `cvid`\n  - `oicd`\n- [Olytics](https://main.omeda.com/knowledge-base/olytics-product-outline/)\n  - `oly_anon_id`\n  - `oly_enc_id`\n  - `otc`\n- [Wicked Reports](https://www.wickedreports.com/)\n  - `wickedid`\n- Yahoo\n  - `soc_src`\n  - `soc_trk`\n- [Yandex](https://yandex.com/support/direct/statistics/)\n  - `_openstat`\n  - `yclid`\n- Other\n  - `ICID`\n  - `rb_clickid`\n  - `stm_` variants of the `utm_` parameters\n\n## Permissions\n\nThis extension requires these [permissions][]:\n\n - `webRequest`, to use the [`chrome.webRequest` API][webRequest]\n - `webRequestBlocking`, to use `chrome.webRequest` in a blocking fashion\n - `http://*/*?*`, to filter http URLs\n - `https://*/*?*`, to filter https URLs\n\n## Alternatives\n\n### uBlock Origin\n\n[uBlock Origin][ublock] includes a [`removeparam`][removeparam] feature that\nsupports fine-grained matching and removal of query string parameters. The\n[AdGuard URL Tracking Protection][adguard] list provides well-maintained\ncoverage for a large number of domains and query string tokens.\n\n[ublock]: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock\n[removeparam]: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Static-filter-syntax#removeparam\n[adguard]: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters#adguard-filters\n\n### Firefox\n\nFirefox 102 [introduced](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1763660)\nbuilt-in removal of tracking query string parameters. In Privacy \u0026 Security\nsettings, ensure Enhanced Tracking Protection is set to Strict (required to\nactivate the query string feature). The default set of removed query params is\nlimited, but you can configure your own via the\n`privacy.query_stripping.strip_list` pref as a space-separated list.\n\n### Other Extensions\n\n* [ClearURLs](https://gitlab.com/ClearURLs/ClearUrls)\n* [URL Tracking Stripper](https://github.com/newhouse/url-tracking-stripper)\n\n## Logo\n\n[![Urchin Logo](icon-128.png \"Urchin Logo\")](https://openclipart.org/detail/69997)\n\n[Urchin Logo](https://openclipart.org/detail/69997) by Jordan Irwin / Deluge.\n\n[utm]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTM_parameters\n[chrome-webstore]: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/kcpnkledgcbobhkgimpbmejgockkplob\n[firefox-addons]: https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/utm-tracking-token-stripper/\n[edge-addons]: https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/mbhhijmdgnjdckplligicmjadcpndioj\n[permissions]: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/declare_permissions\n[webRequest]: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/webRequest\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjparise%2Fchrome-utm-stripper","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjparise%2Fchrome-utm-stripper","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjparise%2Fchrome-utm-stripper/lists"}
