URL Cleaner for links from Social Media or other sites

[Dogeron]

Apologies if I haven't I haven't posted this in the correct thread or if it has been implemented in a different form.

My request/suggestion is a URL cleaner that removes the tracking 'cruft' from a url link.

This has several benefit (and probably more that I haven't though about) for example shortening and cleaning the URL before :

• emailing
• opening in a new tab

I often trim Amazon item URLs before email them so this could apply to shopping sites not just social media ones.

The idea came from the following comment on a news article on TheRegister.

This can sort of be done with the 'Copy without parameters' feature. Although, it seems more like a blunt tool that could remove some parameters from the URL that you might want to keep.

And, as far as I know, it only works for an address that you copy from your addressbar by right-clicking the address. I don't know if you can access 'Copy without parameters' for something like a Command Chain.

I was looking for this feature, too. I want to be able to right click and copy "clean" links for pasting elsewhere. I hear the Brave browser can do this, and I'd love to have it as an option in Vivaldi.
