Whitelist for disabling on sites that it breaks

User commented in Chrome Webstore:

Great addon, but really needs a whitelist so you can disable it for sites it breaks.

Either a whitelist to disable stripping or a blacklist to enable stripping (limit stripping to given list of websites) would be great. Currently I'd like to report usability issue with GitLab installations. When visiting a GitLab repo (e.g. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce), I cannot toggle between branches, because this extension would strip away the ref parameter in URL, causing a 404 error. The ref parameter (reference) comes from git ecosystem and is actively used by various git-related websites.

For your reference, I found this Firefox addon on Github which seems to support custom rules when stripping tracking parameters, link here. And I think its format is somewhat well defined. Maybe we could support this format? Or create our own.

OK, thanks @JokerQyou I've been meaning to dive into this and I'll try to get to it this weekend if possible!

@newhouse I agree a "toggle switch" would be useful to enable/disable the extension for testing in conjunction with an "option for whitelisting/blacklisting" sites.

It would be really useful 😊

?ref is also used by the Steam support website:

+1, this is breaking GitLab's branch switching feature. I had to disable this extension in order to continue my work. Would be great if it support some kind of whitelist or blacklist.
