Advanced URL filtering, tracking parameter removal, and privacy protection rules for content blockers, DNS filtering solutions, and network filtering platforms.
URL Ultimate Filter is an open-source filtering project focused on:
- Tracking parameter removal
- URL sanitization
- Privacy protection
- Analytics reduction
- Cleaner sharing links
- Improved browsing experience
The project helps reduce unnecessary tracking information embedded in URLs and improves privacy across websites, advertising networks, and analytics platforms.
The goal of this project is to provide a continuously maintained collection of URL filtering and tracking-parameter removal rules that help users:
- Protect privacy
- Reduce tracking exposure
- Improve browsing efficiency
- Create cleaner and shareable URLs
The project is developed and maintained as an independent open-source effort and is freely available to the community.
Many websites append tracking parameters to URLs, including:
utm_source=
utm_medium=
utm_campaign=
fbclid=
gclid=
msclkid=
mc_eid=
_ga=
These parameters are commonly used for:
- Marketing attribution
- User profiling
- Advertising analytics
- Cross-site tracking
Removing unnecessary parameters provides:
- Cleaner URLs
- Improved privacy
- Better sharing experience
- Reduced tracking exposure
Automatically removes common tracking parameters such as:
utm_*
fbclid
gclid
msclkid
mc_eid
_ga
_gl
Converts URLs into cleaner and more readable forms.
