The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.

About Query stripper

Strips annoying query parameters from URLs. It does utm_* (google), atl_* (atlassian) and ref_ (imdb) out of the box. More unwanted tokens/params are configurable on the Options page. This happens BEFORE page load, so the query params WON'T be sent to the server and your URL is clean for copying. History: 1.10 No more replacements after #, only real query params.
