Please offer the ability to strip Google Analytics tracking elements from URLs, both from hyperlinks within a page and from the current page's URL. Mostly via Feedburner, Google has rather obnoxiously started doubling the length of URLs. An example: were this operational, this URL:

http://lifehacker.com/5459919/use-event-viewer-to-tell-when-your-pc-last-rebooted?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+lifehacker/full+%28Lifehacker%29

would become:

http://lifehacker.com/5459919/use-event-viewer-to-tell-when-your-pc-last-rebooted

Thanks for your consideration of this feature request.

    I don't fully understand: is this for others' feeds you are subscribed to or your own published feeds, or feed links anywhere in websites?
    Is this an accurate description of your issue: http://sebastians-pamphlets.com/troubles-made-by-utm-variables-from-google-analytics/

    It is not my own published feeds; there's a published solution for disabling that. It is for others' links.
