Description from store
PasteClean removes tracking junk from web links so you share clean URLs. It runs locally, cleans the current page URL, and rewrites links right before you click them.
What it does
Drop tracking: removes utm_*, fbclid, gclid, msclkid, etc.
Drop fragments: clears #~:text=…, #fbclid=…
Amazon clean: canonicalizes product links to /dp/ASIN
YouTube: youtu.be/ID → youtube.com/watch?v=ID
Redirect wrappers: unwraps facebook l.php, google /url, reddit /out
Optional shorteners: follow t.co, bit.ly, a.co, amzn.to, etc. (allowlist, off by default)
Context menu: right‑click → “Copy Clean Link”
Popup: “Clean current URL” (no page reload) + rules/toggles
Privacy
No telemetry. No data leaves your browser.
Shortener follow is optional; when enabled it only requests allow‑listed hosts.
All settings are stored locally via browser storage.
