I assume this strips the utm parameters?
Yeah, and a few other such parameters where it's pretty clear that they're only used for tracking.
I don't think it strips UTM parameters specifically - I think it's limited to parameters that track you individually?
Hmm, apparently this is the list of parameters it strips: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-release/source/toolkit/components/antitracking/StripOnShareLists/LGPL/StripOnShareLGPL.json
So, yeah, it's only some of the UTM parameters (+ some non-UTM parameters).
And you brought the receipts too :) Indeed, looks like it's blocking the ones that might potentially identify you, not more generic ones (like
utm_content=top_banneror whatever).
