About

### Browse Privately and Securely  
**Automated Link Sanitizer** helps protect your privacy by automatically removing tracking parameters from URLs you visit, ensuring you're not tracked unnecessarily while browsing the web.

### Features:
- Automatically cleans URLs by removing tracking parameters (e.g., utm_source, ref, fbclid).
- Enhances privacy and reduces unwanted tracking.
- Simple, lightweight, and requires no configuration.
- Provides statistics showing sanitized links by domain and tracking parameter.
- Easily whitelist domains that you trust.

### How it works:
Whenever you click a link containing tracking or referral parameters, the extension automatically removes them before loading the page. No user action required!

### Examples of removed tracking parameters:
- `utm_source`, `utm_campaign`, `ref`, `fbclid`, `gclid`, and many more.

### Privacy First:
This extension does not collect, store, or share any personal information.

### Changelog:
 ** 1.0 - 1.7 ** - Extension build. Initial release/testing with automatic link sanitation, whitelist, and stats support.

** 1.7.2 ** - Added search feature on the Stats > Domains tab to easily find and whitelist domains that had trackers blocked.
