Remove tracking parameters with tracklessURL
tracklessURL is an open-source Chrome extension that focuses on privacy by automatically removing tracking parameters from URLs. With the use of the Declarative Net Request API, tracklessURL is able to modify URLs without needing invasive permissions, ensuring that it does not view or store your browsing history.
One of the standout features of tracklessURL is its frequently updated built-in list of common URL trackers. This includes well-known trackers like UTM parameters and Facebook's fbclid, as well as various other social media and marketing website trackers. This means that you can browse the web without worrying about these trackers collecting your data.
Another great aspect of tracklessURL is its user-customizability. The extension provides a simple and intuitive user interface that allows you to add your own rules for blocking parameters. You can easily delete, edit, toggle, or group rules together as needed. Additionally, there is a global whitelist feature that enables you to easily whitelist any websites that may not function correctly due to parameter removal.
Adding rules with tracklessURL is a breeze. You can manually specify the parameter to block and the websites to block it on, or simply paste a URL containing tracking parameters to quickly add new rules.
