eBay: strip tracking parameters from links
Cleans item links of tracking and affiliate parameters, leaving a shorter, more private URL.

// Strip tracking parameters from eBay item links
function cleanLinks() {
const junk = ['_trkparms', '_trksid', 'hash', 'amdata', 'epid', 'mkevt', 'mkcid', 'mkrid', 'campid'];
document.querySelectorAll('a[href*="ebay.com/itm/"]:not([data-jz-clean])').forEach(function (a) {
a.setAttribute('data-jz-clean', '1');
try {
const u = new URL(a.href);
junk.forEach(function (p) { u.searchParams.delete(p); });
a.href = u.toString();
} catch (e) { /* ignore malformed urls */ }
});
}
