While I like the meal delivery service as I've been looking for something similar, I flagged your comment for linking to referral-code URLs.

If anyone else wants to strip URLs of tracking and referral codes automatically, I use: https://github.com/jparise/chrome-utm-stripper

Thanks!

I didn't know about "gclid=...", and "fbid=..." in URLS. After reading your post, I found an extension to remove them:

I created this [1] some time ago to manipulate links in the pages that I visit.

This part [2] removes the UTM parameters from the links in certain websites.

However, I stopped updating the extension when I switched to Safari some time ago.

I used to use this one [3] which was actually my inspiration to create my own project.
