# Clean URL Tracking Params

Strips known ad/tracking query parameters (`fbclid`, `gclid`, `utm_*`,
`msclkid`, `ttclid`, and more — see the full list in the script) from the
URL bar on page load and on single-page-app navigation, using
`history.replaceState`. The page never reloads and nothing is ever sent
anywhere — this only rewrites the URL already sitting in your own
address bar.

Only well-known ad-network/analytics-specific parameter names are
stripped. Generic-sounding params like `ref`, `source`, or `id` are
deliberately left alone, since real sites often depend on those for
actual navigation — this script only touches names that are
unambiguously tracking-only.

**Scope note**: this is a cosmetic/privacy URL cleanup, not a
network-level tracker blocker. If a tracking pixel already read the
param before this script ran, cleaning the URL afterward doesn't
un-fire it. Pair with a real request-blocking extension (uBlock Origin,
etc.) if that's the goal — this script just keeps the URL itself clean
to look at, copy, and share.
