Tracking Token Stripper

Alternatives
uBlock Origin
uBlock Origin includes a removeparam
feature that
supports fine-grained matching and removal of query string parameters. The
AdGuard URL Tracking Protection list provides well-maintained
coverage for a large number of domains and query string tokens.
Firefox
Firefox 102 includes
built-in removal of tracking query string parameters. In Privacy & Security
settings, ensure Enhanced Tracking Protection is set to Strict (required to
activate the query string feature). The default set of removed query params is
limited, but you can configure your own via the
privacy.query_stripping.strip_list
pref as a space-separated list.
