Remove Link Tracking

What is link tracking? Link tracking is a special kind of tracking, where users were tracked by clicking on links. This helps sites e.g. to identify where users came from. With this information they can improve their behavior, so that they could get more views on their site.
How it works: A link is not only the domain and a file alone. There are often a lot of extra parameters. Some paramters track, some other paramters are just for the dynamic site itself (e.g. you search for something, etc.). The most popular parameters for tracking are the so called UTMs. Which are basically parameters starting with 'utm_'.

What does this Add-On do? This Add-On basically catches every link the browser requests. If a tracking parameter is included in the link, the Add-on will remove it and hand the link over to the browser.

If a parameter starts with one of the following strings it will be removed: AffiliateID trk algo amp awc btsid campaign campid cid clickin eqrecqid ext fb fbclid gclid hmb_ igshid key-sofort_ mcID partner pf_rd pgtype refID sclid spm src tt_ utm_ wc_mc ws_ab_ wt_ yclid zanpid

If you found a tracking parameter which is not considered by the addon, feel free to to open a issue/pull-request on Github or send me an email.
