Yeah but the list is hardcoded. Collisions can happen.

Also, since it's hardcoded, it's easily gameable, and it will be gamed if too many people start filtering them out.

It's a good start but a bad solution overall

"utm_" collisions?

The trackers can be renamed to anything that's regularly used in other places.

Pushing to make this a default will only harm the small minority that might be enjoying the benefits right now.

At least with the current way it's set up.
