After a long while, I checked back on the arkenfox.js github page, and they no longer mention two extensions I still use: (1) CanvasBlocker (because if Resist Fingerprinting is enabled in about:config, the per page zoom levels get changed and that drives me crazy), and (2) Smart Referer (because, well, it was recommended). I know that good old UBlock Origin can block javascript, but I’ve been using (3) JavaScript Control because it’s easier to access from the URL bar. So are these three still useful? To answer my own question: I might give RFP another try so I won’t need CanvasBlocker. Since I can achieve what CanvasBlocker and JS Control do with about:config and UBlock tweaks, respectively, I guess I’m mainly interested in what people think about Smart Referer. Also sort of a noodly post.

    Hm, which parameter would you want to get removed?

    From what I can see, you can either specify a fixed parameter name, or use a REGEXP… I could help you write an optimized REGEXP if that’s what you need, the example /^utm_/ one seems to target Google’s tracking and be simple enough… but is that what you want to do?
