Strips fbclid/gclid/utm_*/msclkid/ttclid and other known ad-tracking query params from the URL bar via history.replaceState -- no reload, no network requests. Handles SPA navigation too (pushState/replaceState wrapping, popstate/hashchange), since client-side routers often re-add tracking params on route changes.

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.
