# Tracking Query Remover
A Chrome and Firefox extension that removes trackers from query for a simpler and cleaner URL
This extension will remove the following trackers from **Google** and **Facebook**:
* gclid
* fbclid
* utm_source
* utm_medium
* utm_campaign
* utm_term
* utm_content
This extension is not designed to hide from the website you are visiting with the tracking queries (you can see in Network tab on DevTools that request is done before the extension removes the query), but is intended for the user to see a cleaner url to share or save it to a document. I would like to add this feature on a future release, if you have the time to do so, send a pull request
## Install
You can install the extension/add-on for the following browsers:
* [Google Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tracking-query-remover/cdhgohknmmkonojeajegbnkbmfkkhobb)
* [Mozilla Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tracking-query-remover/)
## Tests
You can test without a web browser using **NodeJS** running
```shell
node content.js
```
Or you can test that it changes the url visiting this `https://blog.marroquin.dev/tests/?fbclid=FBFBFB&couponCode=COCOCO&gclid=GCGCGC`
In order to test this extension:
For Chrome at `chrome://extensions`, enabled **Developer mode** and clicked **Load unpacked**
For Firefox at `about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox` clicked **Load Temporary Add-on…**
## Links
Some links that may help you if you are also new to building extensions
* [Manifest File Format](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/manifest)
## Icon
The icon was created with **Gimp** on a 16x16 pixels square with size 1 Pencil, you can edit by openning [icon.xcf](icon.xcf)
## Package extension
For Chrome at `chrome://extensions` click **Pack extension** and it will generate your **Packed** (`.crx`) and **Key** (`.pem`) files.
As a reminder for me, I saved my key at **G2** on `KEYS` folder
