Add support (if not already) to clean url with removeparam + list

[huuhaa]

Preliminary checklist

• [X] I have read the README
• [X] I have read the FAQs.
• [X] I have searched existing issues for my feature request. This is a new issue (NOT a duplicate) and is not related to another issue.
• [X] This is a feature request for the Cromite browser; not the website nor F-Droid nor anything else.

Is your feature request related to privacy?

Yes

Is there a patch available for this feature somewhere?

Not that I'm aware of

Describe the solution you would like

I would like to have option to remove "tracking elements" of the url, like ?utm ?fbclid etc. Basicly similar behavior as:

With uBlock Origin and adding my filters these lines:

$removeparam=/^utm $removeparam=/utm_./ $removeparam=/^(gclid|yclid|fbclid)=/

as an result url will goot basic clean, but thre's also list available, which would be great if could be used with Cromite:

I think this would be nice feature and even if not as much privacy focused, bit on that too, when people stop sharing address with those ?utm ?fbclid etc.

Describe alternatives you have considered

So far I have tried with userscript option with usig these tips, but no luck so far.

More glumsy option is to set app URL Cleaner (f-droid) as "default browser" to first clean url before opening it to Cromite.

Here is a userscript you can try out that works in Cromite - Link to the usercript. Link with tracking parameters to test it out.

so you propose to delete those parameters during

• the copy/paste of the url
• navigation from an external intent
• the url share

interesting proposal.

Above comment, understood,

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/LegitimateURLShortener.txt

These two filterlists, mostly does it's function, especially in uBo (uBlock Origin), i personally can't confirm for Adblock Plus.

[Universalizer]

Probably, b,rave must had hardcoded it, 'these two filterlists'.

interesting indeed, it seems that some code already exists in chromium
