Firefox's right-click menu has "Copy Link Without Site Tracking"
uBlock Origin can remove them before loading a URL, some examples (they go in My Filters)
*$removeparam=/^utm_/
*$removeparam=fbclid
*$removeparam=siMy hobby is writing iOS Shortcuts while in the restroom and my url cleaner shortcut is my most often used one.
Side note : Shortcuts.app is iOS best feature hands down
How do you deal with the permissions on using Shortcut?
With the new macOS Spotlight improvement and the window management getting better, I thought I will get rid of Rectangle Pro (I use only that custom window resizing) and tried a window Resizer Shortcut. I’ve tried giving it as much freedom as I can but it keeps bumping into more and more gates.
Btw, I think I jumped too early on that Spotlight thing. I remember, I got back to Alfred last week.
Obvious vibe coded slop.
Also includes a nice fake readme on github that says it's open source (it's not) with "instructions" to build it locally with npm (they don't work). https://archive.is/rzwK1
Not sure how much you checked in detail, but to add on, I downloaded it and unpacked the app to check out the source. Would say it definitely looks like AI written code. I partially wonder if Gemini generated it, because it seemingly imports `@google/genai` as a dependency and does nothing with it, and that kinda seems like a Gemini thing to do.
Absolutely right.. this is closed source. Don't know why there is the 'Development' section.
Seconded.
On Android, I've been using Leon - The URL Cleaner. GPL3 is restrictive but fine here for me. It is a nice Share Target app, so integrates well with Android. And it has an option to copy the URL to the clipboard automatically after cleaned, which is what I want. https://github.com/leon-cleaning-services/leon
I'd love to use a webapp/PWA that has Share Target support, just because. Not sure what is out there.
kinda related, on iOS there's https://routinehub.co/shortcut/16554/ for this.
Sadly, this site requires a login or registration with an email just to get the shortcut. I guess I may be able to find a similar one that’s just shared by someone on their iCloud storage.
Oh that sucks. Wasn't trying to shill for that site. I've got this one but I can't remember where I got it from and it doesn't work for youtube links. There's probably a better one out there if you look around.

Presumably this also works on macOS.
