This is great for privacy!

I love the way Brave has clearly documented which items they block, and
even link to issues so people can try to understand the reasons. That's a
bit harder to do with a single-line pref string, and nearly impossible to
make visible if it's remote-settings unless we have an explicit
documentation page. The more tracking parameters we end up blocking (Brave
currently has two dozen) the more likely this could lead to mysterious
failures because unrelated sites just happened to use the same abbreviation
for something else.

A contrived example, but imagine someone has a fantasy soccer league site.
Players could be very frustrated if they're unable to link to their profile
because we keep stripping the *F*oot*B*all *CL*ub *ID* param. A bit of
documentation could help sites avoid using those IDs.
