Hi @mikhoul

Thanks for the inquiry! Several of these (including _hsmi, _hsenc and ref) should already be being stripped by the extension. Are they not being stripped for you?

In addition, without a solid understanding and examples of where each of the others are found and what they do, I'm hesitant to add them to the core group that are stripped. It's too likely to have negative effects without some careful consideration and analysis.

Can you please provide some detail on these, such as example URLs where I can find them (consistently), what the provider/service is that's adding them, and what they do?

Thanks for the quick reply @newhouse ,

Yes I understand your concerns and will provide you with URL's where those trackers are in the next days.

Looks like the fb_* ones are only relevant to facebook.com? In which case it'd be nice to have that be part of the stripping algorithm, so it wouldn't work on the entire Internet.

@mikhoul check out #48 for an example of giving examples in a bug report :-)
