Using cookies for tracking your every move across the internet is old-fashioned. Now the tracking is embedded into the links them selves.
This extension removes some of the most common tracking tags - to free you from the tight embrace of targeted manipulation by websites.

The extension is written in the new Manifest V3 format advanced by Google and is therefore future-proof in the near-to-medium term.
Likewise it is written without any javascript to safeguard the security and privacy of the user. It contains no code that can be subverted by others.
