Extension summary

This extension removes the FBCLID parameter from links on Facebook Newsfeed and Messenger. It triggers on click, and only when a "fbclid" parameter is detected, it is therefore very kind to resources.

As Facebook have started to utilise the "fbclid" parameter and currently have no opt-out, and suspicions that it is being used for marketing, it is only fair that a user have the choice to be able to opt-out.

This may break some links, feel free to get in touch if it manages to break something.

Doesn't work, doesn't remove fbclid at all.

Works as described in 2020. Bloody annoying as hell having to go through a redirect to get to a page. Thanks to this extension I no longer have to! Ripper of a job Robert!
