Google Analytics Parameter Stripper Extension

Removes Google Analytics/Urchin tracking parameters (utm_source, utm_medium, etc.) from URLs that are displayed in the address bar. Also cleans up YouTube URLs slightly.

This is done as a purely aesthetic post-processing step, the site still sees the parameters at initial loading time. The \"cleaned up\" URL is ready to be pasted into emails, IMs, etc.

Permissions that are required:
- \"Your browsing history\": Necessary to observe when tabs are created and navigated to
- \"Your data on all websites\": Necessary to execute the JavaScript to update the URL without reloading the tab

umisery (ID: 0000003fcf50b69e) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/18/2019 This extension works great, but links containing UTM are stored in the history. Would it be possible to change/remove said links to get rid of UTM?

Andrew Wooldridge (ID: 000000b28f753dd7) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/03/2016 Thank you so much! It's always a pain to remove those before sharing links.

Jorge Alejo (ID: 0000000ed883c044) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/22/2013 It doesn't work. It corrects url just after the link is loaded and nothing happens until you refresh the webpage. :(

Behnam Esfahbod (ID: 0000005f403e075a) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/19/2012 Makes invalid URL when the URL starts with "?utm_" and includes non-utm parameters.

ああ (ID: 00000068af5c308b) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 11/17/2011 mixiの?from=global等を無視してくれるかと思ったんですが無理でした。(In mixi, "?*" is not need.But this is not effective.) 英語を読む意欲が無いのでそもそもこれはそういうツールじゃないのかもしれません。もしそうならこの評価は無視してくだしあ。
