A Google Chrome extension that changes "utm_source" in URLs to something else.

How?

This extension works through the magic of regular expressions, matching "utm_source" and replacing its value with "fuck_your_analytics".
Classy, I know.

Why?

Because I don't like analytics, and I wanted to see what writing Chrome extensions feels like.
Future versions might include totally removing tracking URLs, matching various parameters or replacing their values with something random every time.

What does it look like?
