At a time when web developers are spending time on implementing human-readable URLs, the guys at Google Analytics have come up with a cunning plan to destroy beautiful URLs on the network. Here and there we find links generously diluted with utm_ * parameters, which Google Analytics uses to collect various statistics about users. How much can you put up with it?
This was the last straw. Meet the Pure URL! The extension works under Firefox 19+ , Chrome 18+ and Opera 16+ . It processes requests even before they are sent to the server, removing all garbage from addresses on the fly. Even if you open a link with spyware settings in your IM, the Pure URL will kindly make sure that the server doesn’t even know about their existence. From the long and terrible link in the picture you get a concise http://bigpicture.ru/?p=431513 - it’s much more pleasant to deal with such a URL.
At the moment, the list of filtered parameters can be edited only in Firefox. Also now this list is global for all sites. With its main task Pure URL copes, but there is much to develop further. If the idea finds support from the community, as free time becomes available, it is planned to add individual lists for each site in addition to the global list of garbage options.
