Extension summary

Stop Facebook from tracking pages that you visit and share by removing tracking IDs from URLs. This extension removes the "fbclid" and "gclid" arguments from all URLs to prevent Facebook and Google from tracking your browsing.

User reviews

OK, this sort-of works. If I control-click, or right-click and choose "open in new tab"; then the desired URL (without fbclid) gets opened in the original tab, and the undesirable URL (with fbclid) gets opened in a new tab. So close, but yet so far...
