Cleans the tracking stuff from LinkedIn URLs.

It detects the ?trk= in the URL on LinkedIn, and removes the tracking query string.

This script does not increase the security, nor it provides privacy. LinkedIn will still be able to track you. However, if you bookmark or share the pages, save pages to note taking and read it later services, getting the tracking URLs removed might be useful.
