Great plugin, works (Firefox) but still leaves the residue from the tracking, so each-and-every URL save needs to be manually fixed. Please update. Thank you.

I'm afraid the goal of this extension isn't to be a generic URL cleaner. You might instead be interested in an extension like Link Cleaner, which handles more types of query string tokens and offers user configuration.

I started this particular extension before I found those others (and because my needs were simpler), and I don't see the need to "reinvent the wheel" at this point when there are other good solutions available.
