Features & Capabilities

au-revoir-utm is a lightweight Chrome extension designed to clean your browsing experience by automatically removing unwanted UTM tracking parameters such as utm_source, utm_medium, and utm_campaign from URLs. These tracking parameters often clutter URLs and enable marketers to track user activity across sites.

By stripping out these tracking tags, au-revoir-utm helps protect your privacy and prevents unnecessary tracking without requiring any manual effort. The extension runs seamlessly in the background, ensuring that every URL you visit is free from these tracking components. For users interested in transparency and security, the source code is openly available on GitHub. Enhance your browsing with au-revoir-utm and say goodbye to tracking clutter in your URLs!

User Reviews

The add-on 'au-revoir-utm' is praised for effectively removing UTM parameters and working well on newer Firefox versions. However, multiple reviews highlight that it only strips tracking tokens after page load, which allows some tracking during the initial load, especially in earlier Firefox releases. It also lacks support for certain link types and could benefit from broader tracker coverage. There are reports of bugs and concerns about ongoing development, but overall it functions as a useful privacy tool with room for improvement.

Pros

Effectively removes UTM parameters from URLs after page load.
Works as advertised on later Firefox versions (FF 57+ and FF 65).
Provides a useful function to protect user privacy by cleaning tracking tokens.
Simple and clean implementation with potential for enhancements.

Cons

Does not prevent tracking on the initial page load in earlier Firefox versions.
Removes UTM tokens only after the page loads, not before initial request, allowing some tracking.
Lacks support for certain link types like XHR links.
Needs more comprehensive tracker signature coverage (e.g., missing "fbclid").
Some users report unsolved bugs and question active development.

Is au-revoir-utm Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

au-revoir-utm requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
