NOTICE: Google is making it increasingly difficult to maintain and publish extensions in their webstore, and Facebook keeps trying to take the extension down, so I may stop updating in chrome at any time. I recommend using Firefox if you want continued support, and it's better for privacy in general.

Removes Ads and the user interaction tracking from content on Facebook™.
Modified elements can optionally have a custom CSS style applied to them so that cleaned items can be more easily identified.

For links, the event listeners on the link and its parents are removed and/or disabled and a proper href is set.

For videos on mobile, all Facebook™ event-listeners and custom controls are removed, and the video is simplified into just the bare HTML5 video tag.

Explanation of permissions:
- Access to facebook.com, messenger.com, and facebookwkhpilnemxj7asaniu7vnjjbiltxjqhye3mhbshg7kx5tfyd.onion is needed for main functionality, in order to work on those pages.
- Access to mgziminsky.gitlab.io, more specifically https://mgziminsky.gitlab.io/FacebookTrackingRemoval/*, is used to download blocking rules only
- `webNavigation`: Needed to handle cleaning FB interactions that use the browser history API instead of doing a normal page navigation
- Firefox: "Access browser activity during navigation"
- Chrome: "Read your browsing history"
- This is misleading. See https://github.com/mgziminsky/FacebookTrackingRemoval/issues/67#issuecomment-1346953059

Project is completely open source, so you are welcome, and encouraged, to check the code yourself before installing.

Sandra Playle 2022-05-19: Was working great ... worthy of 5 stars but FB appears to have added a patch just recently so this extension is not working as well as it was.

Gabe Elan (A lendület kormányosa) 2022-04-05: A legkirályabb böngésző kiegészítő, amivel az utóbbi időben találkoztam! Eltünteti a k.szott kilométeres facebook kódokat a megosztott oldalak internetcíméből! Fantasztikus, köszönöm! A tökéletes működéshez ne felejtsétek el bejelölni a beállításaiban a "Remove tracking values from internal links (If something breaks, try disabling this first)" lehetőséget is!

Shirley Norman 2020-08-01: Not sure what changed, but I can no longer play videos or GIFs in Facebook posts. Will need to find an alternative. I just want the tracking removed from external URLs. I have other extensions to block ads and sponsored posts. Stay focused!
