About this extension
This add-on lets the user open websites with critical user information [Like banking, travel sites, etc] in a private window, without the hassle of copying the URL and such. To use the add-on, simply click the add-on button (which looks like a magician's glasses striked through) in the address bar, and if the site you're viewing is supported by our add-on, you'll be able to open it in a Private Window with a single-click. In case the add-on doesn't work on a URL, please mail us at jyotsna17gupta [AT] gmail [DOT] com and we'll get back to you shortly, if and when we'll be able to support that URL.

Also, this extension by default chops off ✂️ the Google Analytics tracking (i.e. Urchin Tracking Monitor) tokens from the URL's query string before the web Request is made. So, this extension provides more private browsing experience with cleaner and shorter URL.

PrivateX strips utm_* tokens (for instance, "utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss") from URLs to prevent the user from being tracked.

Example of URL with UTM tokens: https://www.example.com/page?utm_content=buffercf3b2&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer

URL after installing PrivateX 🎉 : https://www.example.com/page
