Can you add them too? - Noté 4 sur 5par Korwin, il y a 5 mois
- Noté 4 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 16817970 de Firefox, il y a 10 moisI 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. - Noté 4 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 13192725 de Firefox, il y a 10 moisis it possible to add guccounter for yahoo?
Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 4 moisLooks 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. - Noté 5 sur 5par Hamtaro, il y a 2 ans

mis en ligne : il y a 4 moisMeant 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? - Noté 4 sur 5par Beachbubba, il y a 4 ansIs this extension still relevant in Firefox versions 91+?
Edit: Also, does it play well with uBlock Origin?Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 4 ansYes, 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. - Noté 5 sur 5par int_ua, il y a 5 ans

- Noté 5 sur 5par madflower, il y a 5 ansI 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
(greatly shortened for readability)Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 5 ansI 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. - Noté 3 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 5702412 de Firefox, il y a 5 ansJust 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.

mis en ligne : il y a 5 ansFacebook 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"? - Noté 5 sur 5par Utilisateur ou utilisatrice 15940033 de Firefox, il y a 5 ans

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!Réponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 5 ansThank 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! - Noté 5 sur 5par Maxim Borkunov, il y a 6 ansWorks 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 addedRéponse du développeur
mis en ligne : il y a 6 ansThanks for your review! I'll add utm_referrer to the list in the next update.
