## Description

URL Tracking Cleaner removes unwanted tracking parameters from URLs when they are opened.

Many websites append tracking information such as utm_source, utm_medium, fbclid, gclid, and similar parameters to links. These values are commonly used for analytics, advertising attribution, and user tracking.

URL Tracking Cleaner automatically removes configured tracking parameters before the destination page is loaded.

<strong>Features:</strong>
- Removes tracking parameters when URLs are opened
- Includes a predefined list of common tracking parameters
- Supports custom tracking parameters
- Individual parameters can be enabled, disabled, or removed
- Lightweight and privacy-friendly
- No telemetry and no data collection

By default, the following parameters are removed:

<code>fbclid</code>, <code>gclid</code>, <code>ysclid</code>, <code>utm_source</code>, <code>utm_medium</code>, <code>utm_campaign</code>, <code>utm_term</code>, <code>utm_content</code>, <code>utm_referer</code>, <code>utm_id</code>, <code>__cft__[0]</code>, <code>__tn__</code> and <code>si</code>.

<strong>Note:</strong>
The extension does not modify websites or rewrite links displayed on web pages. Instead, tracking parameters are removed only when a URL is actually loaded or navigated to.
