Google Analytics Parameter Stripper

SUMMARY

Removes Google Analytics/Urchin tracking parameters (utm_source, utm_medium, etc.) from URLs that are displayed in the address bar. Also cleans up YouTube URLs slightly.

This is done as a purely aesthetic post-processing step, the site still sees the parameters at initial loading time. The "cleaned up" URL is ready to be pasted into emails, IMs, etc.

Permissions that are required:
- "Your browsing history": Necessary to observe when tabs are created and navigated to
- "Your data on all websites": Necessary to execute the JavaScript to update the URL without reloading the tab

The latest version of Google Analytics Parameter Stripper is available on the Chrome web and is currently being used by 198 active users. The initial version was launched on 2016-05-02.
