Google decided to add tracking codes from Merchant Center products to all organic listings.

Oh joy.

Now every time you visit a url, it appends an ?Srsltid=STRING to it.

“Not a problem, I’ve got a canonical” you say.

But what about when you’re doing your daily blog post, and decide to use those browser urls to copy into an internal link.

Or if you’re working on a report, and you’re copying urls into a spreadsheet.

Now you’re having to manually remove the Srsltid part from the url to properly use it – wasting time.

Here’s an experimental present: a Firefox extension to remove it from your browser after load: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/strip-srsltid-from-urls/

Use at your own risk, it hasn’t been extensively tested, but I’ve used it for a few days now with no issues.

For Chrome, you can activate it yourself using the instructions here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1evvLNronq_eGVeRIPu5hpwVoj6G_BDLk?usp=sharing

Don’t thank me, thank ChatGPT for this one – coding way beyond my novice capabilities.
