I know firefox has the very useful “Copy clean Link” option in the context menu, but I would like a similar feature for copying links from any other software, like spotify for example. So I am looking for some software that hooks into the clipboard pipeline, and cleans any URL that gets added. I tried googling for something like it, but was completely unsuccessful. Does anyone have a clue how I might go about achieving this?
Thanks in advance :)
Edit: I found out about klipper
’s actions, which provide the option to run a command when a string that matches a regex is added to the clipboard buffer. I am not sure how to properly use this though, so any help is appreciated!
There is no logic as to which parameters is useful and which is used for tracking. But there are databases.
Here is the one for the CleanURLs extension and here is the one for the AdGuard URL Tracking filter list (which I recommend everyone should enable in uBlock Origin).
Oh, nice! That’s definitely valuable info. Personally, I do think it’s too much work to implement that properly, though.
There are some examples of projects that use CleanURLs db in its readme but most have not been updated for a long time.
