Removes Google Analytics (UTM) parameters, and various other click tracking tokens, from URL query strings.

FeedBurner and similar links often include Google Analytics tracking tokens in the URL's query string. These start with the prefix "utm_" (Urchin Tracking Monitor). Facebook and Google also add click tracking identifiers to outbound URLs ("fblid" and "gclid"). They are used by the target site to report back statistics regarding the origin of the inbound link.

This extension removes these tokens from the URL before the destination site is visited, resulting in a more private browsing experience with a cleaner URL that's more suitable for copying into an email, instant message, etc.

How do we check if it works? I know that if I click on a Facebook link to a news story, it still seems to have tokens in the URL...

Took a look at the code, seems safe and probably won't be trying to steal any of the data on your website, unless some malicious party attempts to steal/hack/buy this extension
