This is the only params remover add-on I know of that allows entering custom param names. One thing I have noticed that none of them handle is when you're subscribed to an email list and the link is processed by a click tracker before redirecting to the page. In that case the params are not stripped. Here is an example that redirects to a link with four utm params:
