Wow, the big one to my eyes is the 'removeparam=' which allowed uBlock to strip out parameters (e.g. tracking parameters) from the request, allowing you to visit e.g. affiliate links without being tracked as coming from a specific affiliate (if the affiliate info was in the query params at least). Stuff like that is really amazing, I'm glad that here on FireFox we've still got the full uBlock Origin.


I would have said, use ClearURLs, but it is blocked too: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/clearurls/lckanjgmi...

Socialfixer won't work anymore too.
