Should strip Redfin `riftinfo` parameter

Lovely extension, thanks!

After installing I'm still seeing this extremely long and ugly riftinfo parameter in urls on Redfin.com

Not sure what it is, possibly a token for some kind of Occulus Rift VR home tour?

Is this a parameter you could add to the list?

Hmm...yeah, that seems icky. Wonder where/when it might break a site tough?

Very sorry - I've been neglecting this project for too long. I'll try to dig through it this week/end and get up to speed and do some work on it
