![load project](assets/load-project.png)

### Userscript (lite)

The userscript release can clarify url in address bar but the tracking parameters are still in requests.

1. After install script managers (Tampermonkey, ...) and click [![Install-userscript-brightgreen](assets/Install-userscript-brightgreen.svg)](https://github.com/FlandreDaisuki/Facebook-Dont-Track-Me/raw/master/Facebook-Dont-Track-Me.user.js)

## Permission Explanation

### tabs / contextMenus / clipboardWrite

These permissions are for the implementation of right click and copy the clarified link.

When click that function, the link will send to background and process it, then send back clarified URL to the tab you click and replace your clipboard content.

### webRequest / webRequestBlocking / \

The reason I use `` instead of Facebook's domain is the tracking parameter, like `fbclid`, are spread all over Facebook and non Facebook sites.

I don't want to send other sites these tracking parameters from non Facebook sites to other non Facebook sites.

The `webRequest` and `webRequestBlocking` can let me filter and clarify all requests.
