Enable built-in URL anti-tracking query parameters stripping
First, Arthur has added MB to https://privacytests.org/ my bad, need coffee, it's I really need some coffee, sorry for the noisefetch cache
The other major difference I see here (say vs Brave/Librewolf) is the Tracking query parameter tests
- even though it is enumerating badness, blocking the top 20 or so known offenders gives great bang for buck, and doesn't cause site issues. Initially the list was crafted by Brave and François Marier, so kudos to them. Mozilla are also starting to add this to PB mode (with a very limited list)
@fabrizio can explain how and what release Librewolf added it - there's a pref(s) [1][2] - but certainly something that can be added in the next ESR. I'm not sure what else may have been needed to make it work in normal mode, if anything.
There is also an option to use Legitimate URL Shortener
in uBO, but that may cause some breakage by default - see [3] and expand the image for uBO instructions - list is maintained at [4]
