Jeff Weiss (ID: 000000fed4a1cc6e) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/01/2023 Should be called "clean" fbclid because the parameter gets passed, but it is immediately stripped. Does exactly what I need. Big time saver when bookmarking or sharing links.

Harsha Vardhan (ID: 000000aa6c9d027c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/23/2022 Great extension. Sorry that some people misunderstood the usage. I bookmark links from Facebook a lot, and due to fbclid, I sometimes double bookmark the same links. Now the issue is solved using this extension.

Michael Deegan (miiichael) (ID: 000000789c474987) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/29/2021 Doesn't work as intended.

Brian Barlow (ID: 0000004787e5d654) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/10/2021 Very misleading extension. It only removes the fbclid parameter after going to the new page, so it does not help at all with privacy and preventing tracking. The description for the extension should give a warning about this.

WFMC Jams (ID: 000000c15cbf52fd) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 08/23/2021 For those few claiming the extension works and don't care about tracking, you missed the point. Should be called "hide fbclid" not "kill" because it clearly doesn't do what the name suggests.
