Link Cleaner for YouTube

Blocks tracking tags when visiting YouTube pages and removes unnecessary parameters from the address bar and shared links.

Automatically removes unnecessary tracking parameters from YouTube URLs to protect your privacy and create clean links for easy sharing. [Key Features] Tracking Parameter Removal: Instantly strips analytical tracking codes like si, feature, pp, and gclid from URLs. Address Bar Sanitization: Automatically cleans up messy URLs in your browser's address bar as you navigate YouTube. Clean Copy to Clipboard: When you copy a link or use the share button, the sanitized URL is automatically saved to your clipboard. Shorts to Video Converter: Converts YouTube Shorts links into standard video player links for a better viewing experience. Markdown Support: Copy links in [Title](URL) format, perfect for documentation and note-taking. [Detailed Information on URL Sanitization & Redirection] To ensure privacy and a seamless experience, this extension utilizes the following mechanisms: Network-Level Detection (declarativeNetRequest): Before a request reaches YouTube's servers, the extension analyzes the URL structure. Using Chrome's Manifest V3 declarativeNetRequest API, it performs an internal redirection to a "sanitized" version of the URL if tracking parameters are detected. This process corrects the URL format before data transmission, rather than blocking content access. Dynamic URL Refinement: After the page has loaded, the extension uses the History API to refine the address bar URL in real-time, removing user-specified parameters such as timestamps (t) or playlists (list) based on your custom settings.
