Users appreciate the concept of Tracking Token Stripper but report it fails to remove certain tracking parameters like 'igshid' from Instagram URLs. It also does not function effectively with links in some email alerts, leaving tracking tokens intact. Additionally, users desire more control over which query parameters are stripped, such as managing blacklists or whitelists, to customize the add-on's behavior.

Does not work with some email alert links, leaving tracking parameters intact.
Lacks user control over which query parameters are removed, e.g., no blacklist/whitelist management.
