Thanks for the suggestion.
Here is source code of UntrackMe:
https://framagit.org/tom79/nitterizeme
GNU IceCat has a few other useful extensions,
https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/
but none similar in feature.
If someone would like to reuse some code to write such an addon, would maybe be
partly similar to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pageexpand/ or
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/remove-redirect/, whose download
buttons actually are a renamed .zip archive.
