Greasy Fork

New Features:

1. Enhanced URL Parsing and Handling:

   • Introduced new URL(url) for parsing and manipulating URLs, ensuring compatibility and robustness.
   • Added specific logic to handle domain-specific URL parameters.

2. Domain-Specific Parameter Removal:

   • removeByDomain(domain, name) function added for removing tracking tokens specific to particular domains.
   • Examples include:
     • Facebook: privacy_mutation_token, acontext, notif_t, etc.
     • Dropbox: _ad, _camp, _tk.
     • YouTube: si.
     • Microsoft: ocid, ef_id, etc.

3. Event Listeners for URL Changes:

   • Monitors history state changes using replaceState and popstate events.
   • Added custom locationchange event to handle URL changes dynamically.

4. Automatic Execution Control:

   • Introduced setInterval to periodically execute token stripping for dynamic pages.
   • Stops interval after 2000ms to avoid unnecessary resource usage.

5. Improved TrackingTokenStripper Functionality:

   • Supports both general parameter removal and domain-specific parameter removal with optional value matching.

Changes:

1. Refactored Code Structure:

   • Simplified and modularized the logic for better readability and maintenance.
   • Replaced the initial query string manipulation logic with the URLSearchParams API for cleaner and safer parameter handling.

2. Improved Performance:

   • Replaced location.href reassignments with history.replaceState to update the URL without triggering full-page reloads.
   • Minimizes unnecessary network requests and enhances user experience.

3. More Tracking Tokens Supported:

   • Added numerous new tracking tokens across various domains, including:
     • Microsoft (wt.mc_id, ocid, redirectedfrom).
     • Bilibili (share_source, share_medium).
     • Yahoo News (guce_referrer, guce_referrer_sig).
     • SendGrid (mc, mcd, cvosrc).
     • Google Analytics (utm_id, _ga, etc.).

4. Updated Domain Matching Logic:

   • Case-insensitive matching for domains and query parameter names to ensure reliability.

5. Additional Logs (Commented Out):

   • Included optional console.log statements for debugging URL changes (commented out for production).

Bug Fixes:

1. Fixed Edge Case with Empty Query Strings:

   • Improved handling when query strings are empty to avoid unnecessary characters (? or #).

2. Corrected Parameter Name and Value Parsing:

   • Fixed issues when parsing query parameters with = in their values.

3. Resolved Compatibility Issues:

   • Ensured compatibility across modern browsers by utilizing native URL and URLSearchParams APIs.

4. Reduced Unintended URL Changes:

   • Implemented strict conditions to only modify the URL when necessary.

Deprecations:

• Removed the remove(name) method from the original implementation that manually iterated query parameters. Replaced with the URLSearchParams-based method for better efficiency and accuracy.

General Notes:

• This update significantly improves the script's capability to handle dynamic and domain-specific tracking tokens.
• The logic has been enhanced to cover additional use cases and tracking mechanisms found on popular platforms.
