/**
* nsIURLQueryStringStripper is responsible for stripping certain part of the
* query string of the given URI to address the bounce(redirect) tracking
* issues. It will strip every query parameter which matches the strip list
* defined in the pref 'privacy.query_stripping.strip_list'. Note that It's
* different from URLDecorationStripper which strips the entire query string
* from the referrer if there is a tracking query parameter present in the URI.
*
* TODO: Given that nsIURLQueryStringStripper and URLDecorationStripper are
* doing similar things. We could somehow combine these two modules into
* one. We will improve this in the future.
