This is the direction we should be moving in.

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_banner or whatever).
