Smart Link Cleaner: Privacy-first URL cleaner Chrome extension (remove UTM, gclid, fbclid)
I built Smart Link Cleaner because I was tired of sharing messy, tracked links. It’s a lightweight Chrome extension that removes common tracking parameters like UTM tags, gclid, fbclid, msclkid, and more, then copies a clean URL in one click. It runs local-first, with no account and no cloud sync, because link cleaning should be fast and private. If you share links in Slack, email, Notion, Reddit, or social, this keeps them readable and reduces accidental tracking.

I’d love feedback on any parameters you see often that I should support next.
Love the privacy-first approach here. Those tracking params are everywhere - I've accidentally shared affiliate links with my UTM tags still attached, which is embarrassing and sometimes confusing for recipients.
For parameters to add: ref=, mc_cid/mc_eid (Mailchimp), vero_id, oly_enc_id (Omeda), and the ever-growing list of social platform params like twclid. Also worth considering: Substack uses a bunch of custom ones, and so does HubSpot (hsa_*, __hstc, __hssc).
One feature request: would be great to have an option to automatically copy the cleaned URL to clipboard after cleaning, so it's paste-ready without an extra click.
