UTM-Mangler

To add some contrast to this discussion, let me say that I think it looks quite neat :-) I see some folks here are quite shocked by it. Maybe using these shock site URLs (https://github.com/huntwelch/UTM-Mangler/blob/master/utm-man... ) is a bit over the top. I was casually musing about such an idea myself a while back: https://twitter.com/harry_wood/status/735048026335682561 . This offers a way to more actively fight back against the over-use of messy UTM URLs. Perhaps a gentler thing to do would be to link to a place/places which re-educate web developers on how to design URLs. (It seems there's a few folk round here who need some re-education on this matter!)

I used to use something called UTM Mangler that would replace the referral links with shock sites. I felt that was much better than simply removing them. Here's the github, it looks like the chrome extension linked in the README is no longer there: https://github.com/huntwelch/UTM-Mangler

Some what related is the UTM Mangler; a browser extension that auto-replaces UTM campaign parameters with more interesting alternatives: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/utm-mangler/ngddln... (source code: https://github.com/huntwelch/UTM-Mangler)
