Filter out Yahoo Referrer params tags

[ryanbr]

We should filter out guccounter,guce_referrer, & guce_referrer_sig

Already blocked by default in Adguard remove params;
https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters/blob/master/TrackParamFilter/sections/general_url.txt#L188

$removeparam=guccounter
$removeparam=guce_referrer
$removeparam=guce_referrer_sig

Clean url; brave/adblock-lists#978

@ryanbr Have you seen any examples where guccounter is set to another value than 1?

Are the other parameters used cross-site? It looks like it's just something internal to Verizon properties to keep track of whether or not people have consented to targeted ads. Unless we see evidence to the contrary, it looks to me like it's some first-party URL decoration that's out-of-scope in the query filter, but is definitely in-scope for the copy clean URL feature.

I haven't see cases where value wasn't set to other than 1. The patch was just syncing with existing fixes in Adguard who are also filtering the same params without issue. Just mirroring what Adguard is doing here. GUCE will set cookies for the consents to show. @fmarier

It's not clear exactly what this is tracking, but according to https://old.reddit.com/r/yahoo/comments/czju1g/guce/ez945sl/, it seems to only affect the type of ads that users will see on these properties. So I agree, we should remove guce_referrer and guce_referrer_sig.

guccounter=1 on the other hand is not a tracker since it's always set to 1 and therefore out-of-scope for the default-on list.
