UTM Remover by bnrr

3 Stars out of 5

Review by Rob Hoelz

I'm also experiencing the same problem as reported in https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/utm-remover/reviews/907936/ - if you have a link like https://out.reddit.com?url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%3Futm_term=blah, the code in callback picks up the URL as one containing a UTM parameter, but removeUtmParams ends up removing nothing, since it's a parameter on the URL inside of the "url" query parameter, and the browser ends up in an infinite redirect loop.

why does this require the super broad Access your data for all websites permission?

Not functioning properly when the value of an argument includes `utm_`, such as https://www.google.com/search?q=utm_.

Maybe it should try to parse the arguments instead of simply replacing URLs using regex...

APPEND: By saying "Not functioning properly", I mean malfunctioning instead of "not working". It causes redirecting loop when `utm_` is present as key value.

The function of this addon is to remove google analytics tracking from URLs, therefore it only removes query params based on the key name.
