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.

Doesn't work as intended.

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.

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.

AS others have said, it still tracks you but as of May 2021 it still removes the characters after the page loads.

To me it's not about facebook tracking me, it's about facebook tracking the people I share the link to. So it works properly for that!
