Sanitize It Autor: Seth Cottle

Sanitize It instantly removes tracking and referral junk from URLs with a single click.
Share clean links again—no utm_*, no referral paths, no hash fragments.

Features

• One-Click Sanitization: Strip query parameters, referral paths, and hash fragments from any URL (e.g. turn https://sanitizeit.xyz/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=social into https://sanitizeit.xyz)
• Smart Mode: Preserves essential parameters on known sites—YouTube video IDs, Google search queries, Kagi lenses, Amazon product pages, and more—while still stripping trackers. Enabled by default, toggleable in settings.
• Settings Panel: Choose your default click behavior (Copy only or Copy + Refresh) and toggle smart mode on or off. Access via Manage Extension → Preferences, Alt+Click the icon, or Alt+Shift+S.
• Automatic Clipboard Copy: Your sanitized URL is copied instantly, ready to paste anywhere. Shift+Click on Firefox inverts your default action (copy or copy + refresh).
• Contextual Notifications: The toast tells you what happened—whether tracking was removed with essential params kept, the URL was fully sanitized, or it was already clean.
• Keyboard Shortcuts: Alt+Shift+X (Option+Shift+X on Mac) to sanitize + copy. Alt+Shift+R (Option+Shift+R on Mac) to sanitize + copy + refresh. Alt+Shift+S (Option+Shift+S on Mac) to open settings.
• Privacy Focused: No data collection, no analytics, and no permissions beyond what's required. Your settings are stored locally in your browser's extension storage.
