Stack Overflow: strip tracking params from links
Cleans on-page links of utm and ref parameters so your clicks no longer carry tracking data.

(function () {
var JUNK = ['utm_source', 'utm_medium', 'utm_campaign', 'utm_term', 'utm_content', 'cb', 'ref'];
function clean() {
document.querySelectorAll('a[href*="?"]').forEach(function (a) {
if (a.dataset.sofClean) return;
a.dataset.sofClean = '1';
try {
var u = new URL(a.href, location.href);
JUNK.forEach(function (p) { u.searchParams.delete(p); });
a.href = u.toString();
} catch (e) { /* ignore malformed urls */ }
});
}
clean();
new MutationObserver(clean).observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true });
