Description

This should apart of brave because it removes tracking links! It is an open source link remover. In the past, the brave team has taken on Jitsi to make their own brave together video calling system that is open sourced. I think you can do the same with this and make it work on all devices.

For Example:
I am looking for a 8TB hard drive on amazon. I type "hard drive 8tb" then click one. Down below are the links, Big difference on the link size!

We've had support for $removeparam as of Brave 1.47.x (see #23927), as well as our own query parameter stripping list - think it's safe to close this.
