We released a new version of Privacy Badger that updates how we fight “link tracking” across a number of Google products. With this update Privacy Badger removes tracking from links in Google Docs, Gmail, Google Maps, and Google Images results. Privacy Badger now also removes tracking from links added after scrolling through Google Search results.

    uBlock Origin doesn’t doesn’t by default, but apparently you can enable a filter which removes tracking params from your URLs. I’ve not personally used this, but I use an add-on called ClearURLs which does something similar.

        I use fennec with a custom extensions list. You can add any extension you want.
