Strip out `_hsmi` params #1

Closed mimre25 closed 4 months ago

mimre25 commented 5 months ago

The WeAreDeveloper newsletter uses URLS with ?_hsmi=<some_id> to track clicks.

I would like to also strip those out of the urls.

I'd be open to contribute a PR if this change is desired. :slightly_smiling_face:

@mimre25 hi! Can you provide example url please?

I plan to make the list of cleared parameters configurable in the near future, so there is no particular need to add additional parameters to the code now. But I will take into account the parameter you specified in the list of those blocked by default.

Here are a few examples:

I think those _hsmi are hubspot tracking identifiers (see here).

Looking forward to this! I was actually first checking whether this is already possible :sweat_smile:

@mimre25 Hi! I've added a couple of new parameters to the list, including the one you requested.

I also updated the versions in the add-on stores, they should update automatically.
