Automatically remove tracking parameters from URLs and browse with cleaner links.

ClearURLs automatically removes known tracking parameters from URLs while you browse, helping prevent unnecessary tracking and making links cleaner and easier to share.

• Automatically removes known tracking parameters
• Skips known tracking redirects when possible
• Open source and built with privacy in mind
• Does not collect your browsing or usage data

How does it work?

Websites often add tracking parameters to URLs to measure clicks, identify where visitors came from, or associate browsing activity with advertising and analytics campaigns.

For example:

https://example.com/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=sale


ClearURLs removes the known tracking parameters:

https://example.com/


The destination remains the same, while unnecessary tracking information is removed.
