why is "utm" not an Include for the sample UTM filter?

Next question: In your sample filter that removes UTM query parameters from all requests, why is utm not listed under Includes? Without it, Request Control applies the rule to every single document request (correct?). Why not apply it only when the request URL includes utm?

(By the way, thank you for the sample filters, they’ve been very helpful)

This sample rule should include it as a path pattern: *utm_*

Includes and excludes are extra URL matchers that are applied on top of Match patterns

Match pattern is a combination of scheme, host and path and it’s used to filter the requests that trigger “on before request” events. Each Request Control rule adds one of these event listeners using match patterns. Includes and excludes provides additional filtering rules for request matching, that can’t otherwise be created with using match patterns only.

I have created accounts at soundcloud and mixcloud. Using Firefox with user.js and profile described at https://github.com/crssi/Firefox/blob/master/user-overrides.js which is supplement to https://github.com/ghacksuserjs/ghacks-user.js. I am stripping out url parameters utm_* and I have no breakages at those two services, login pass, music play pass. Did I miss something?

Cheers
