User Reviews

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.

Pros

Cons

Does not remove all types of tracking tokens, such as 'igshid' from Instagram URLs.
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.

Is Tracking Token Stripper Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Tracking Token Stripper requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
