CleanLink

About

CleanLink is a lightweight browser extension that automatically removes tracking and affiliate parameters from the links you click. This ensures a cleaner browsing experience, faster page loads, and enhanced privacy. Whether it’s Amazon, YouTube, social media, or news websites, CleanLink silently cleans URLs in the background so you don’t have to worry about unwanted tracking.

Key Features:

Automatic URL Cleaning: Removes affiliate and tracking parameters like utm_source, utm_medium, tag, fbclid, gclid, and more from every link you visit.

Supports Major Websites: Tested on popular e-commerce, social media, and news websites. Works on Amazon affiliate links, YouTube, Facebook, and others.

Simple and Lightweight: No unnecessary popups or bloated scripts — CleanLink runs efficiently in the background.

Privacy-Friendly: All URL cleaning happens locally in your browser. CleanLink does not collect or send your browsing data anywhere.

Optional Popup: View basic stats of cleaned links and toggle the extension on or off.

How it Works:
When you click a link, CleanLink checks for common tracking parameters. If found, it removes them and redirects you to the clean URL. Affiliate codes are stripped unless you choose to disable the extension temporarily via the popup toggle.

Why Use CleanLink:

Faster browsing — removes unnecessary tracking parameters.

Protects your privacy — prevents websites from tracking you with UTM tags and other parameters.

Cleaner URLs — great for copying and sharing links without extra clutter.

Transparency:
