Make use of removeparam syntax instead of complete blocking to remove tracking parameters on the fly. #72

Closed Rtizer-9 closed 2 years ago

What type of resource that you're use?

Zuckestion Killer and Chat awareness filterlists

Describe the issue

Urls which have fbclid and such parameters takes you through an intermediate page where you have to click on the filtered link without parameters. If I'm correct this intermediate page can be easily avoided by using the removeparam syntax as described here https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Static-filter-syntax#removeparam

Steps to reproduce

  1. Click any url containing fbclid parameter. You'll be presented with an intermediate page as mentioned above already.

Additional notes

Substituting removeparam syntax in the filterlist in appropriate places instead of completely blocking urls can speed up things since now the syntax is available so tracking parameters can be removed on the fly which will lead the user directly to the page instead of an intermediate page.

After creating this issue I read #19 and I think that even if you don't want to use 'removeparam' for all parameters, it can atleast be used for fbclid which can speed things up.

Updated in last week to only removeparam and not completely block URLs that contains its parameter for...

I may left to Anti survived tracking list warning handle it for uBO warning page and no longer apply to site-specific lists.

However, I may not unblock uBO warning page if navigating through l. or lm. because going into those subdomains mean probably letting Facebook read outgoing URLs and still wrapping more parameters, include fbclid

Like Google does when you click tracking links in search results that turn out it going to /url? first before sent users to actual sites.

Extensions like ClearUrls handle the l. and lm. redirections pretty well so the only problem I was facing was with links containing fbclid.

Thanks for implementing the commit so quickly.
