Hello,

I found this new extension, which can be able to remove users' interaction tracking from external links and videos on Facebook.

Original Description:

Removes the user interaction tracking from external links and videos on Facebook. Modified elements can optionally have a custom CSS style applied to them so that cleaned items can be more easily identified.

For links, the event listeners on the link and its parents are removed and/or disabled and a proper href is set on the link.

For videos, all Facebook event-listeners and custom controls are removed, and the video is simplified into just the bare HTML5 video tag.

FF 48+: All functionality is configurable from the options page

CHANGELOG:
v1.2.0
- Add support for videos
- Add options to enable/disable link and video tracking removal independently
- Misc code cleanup

v1.1.1
- Make backwards compatible with older FF
- Make style applied to 'fixed' links configurable

v1.1.0 (FF v48+ only)
- Add options page with outline toggle

v1.0.0:
- Remove link tracking and add green dashed border to fixed links.

Firefox page: Facebook Tracking Removal - Version: 1.2.0

Chrome page: Facebook Tracking Removal - Version: 1.1.0
