What our analysis found

UTM Eraser showed no malicious code in Extension Auditor's review. Its permissions mean it can read and change data on all websites. It comes from a trusted publisher and was last updated in May 2026.

Analyst notes

The extension does exactly what it advertises: it removes well-known tracking query parameters (utm_*, fbclid, gclid, etc.) from URLs using declarativeNetRequest rules and history.replaceState — no network exfiltration, no remote code loading, no obfuscation. All data flows are local: settings are exclusively to chrome.storage.sync, and the content script only modifies the current page's URL client-side. The ML score (0.02) is itself low; the risk-engine's 'High' rating is driven entirely by permission-tier heuristics (declarativeNetRequest + <all_urls>), which are both required and appropriate for a URL-cleaning extension. The permhash cluster's 11% malware rate is not corroborated by any malicious code pattern in this bundle.

About this extension

Clean tracking query parameters from URLs, such as utm, fbclid, gclid, etc.

Read the publisher’s full description

An extension to clean tracking request parameters from URLs. Please note that due to Chrome developer policy, it is no longer possible to dynamically change the list of parameters to remove before loading the page — it is hardcoded when developing the extension. You can see the current list of rules with tags that will be applied BEFORE loading the page (i.e. will really interfere with tracking) at this address: https://github.com/Psychosynthesis/Eraser/blob/main/src/chrome/rules.json Eraser also has the ability to clean custom params (place the extension icon on the panel and click on it to edit). Your custom set of tags will allow you to cosmetically remove parameters after the page has loaded (this is convenient, for example, to share links). Keep in mind that this will not interfere with tracking by your custom tags, this is literally just a cosmetic edit of the address bar - Chrome policy is to blame. You can edit custom params list in the settings (by clicking on the extension icon).
