Feature Request: Clear 'share' url's

Open viasux opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

If you ever use twitter or similar social media, clicking the share button and then copying a link to a post will return a tracking link. It usually takes significantly more time and clicks to enter the post, copy the url at the top of the page, and leave the post. I am curious if there's any way these links could be cleaned up so when you copy them, they already have the tracking removed. I know there's a tool in the extension to clean any link, but it's a hassle to have to open that any time I want to share a post.

Twitter is the exact reason I came searching for this. I'd love it if ClearURLs could do this

Tumblr is also using these on desktop now, in the form:

https://www.tumblr.com/blogname/123456789?source=share

The blog name changes based on the user's profile and the numbers change based on the post ID. All that would need done is removing the ?source=share. (As a note, the manual link cleaner built into ClearURLs does not remove the ?source=share.)

Regardless of implementation for this, thanks for all the hard work on the project!
