Rather's Link Shortener

Сокращатель, который правда сокращает: убирает следящий мусор прямо из URL. Для чистых ссылок, которыми удобно делиться.

A link shortener that actually shortens links. None of this replacing a link with a short link nonsense. No redirect service, no link wrapper, nothing that hides where a link goes. Your link stays your link - same page and site, just without the hundreds of characters of tracking IDs, session tokens, and search breadcrumbs stuffed onto the end. The address-bar URL is rewritten in place, so the link you copy to share is the clean canonical form. The sites it covers add up to more than a quarter of all visits on the web: over a hundred billion page visits every month, including twelve of the world's twenty most-visited sites. If someone sent you a long, junk-covered link today, odds are it came from a page this extension cleans. WHAT GETS CLEANED More than a hundred and twenty popular sites are supported: shopping, travel booking, social media, entertainment, search, cloud documents, and a news pack covering more than fifty outlets across every world region, each with hand-tuned rules for that site's URL structure. The full list is visible in the extension's popup and on the project page. The cleanup is careful about what it keeps. Parameters that change what the recipient actually sees survive: product variant selections stay locked, playlist position is kept, comment deep-links still scroll to the right comment, video timestamps survive, and paywall gift links keep working. Only the tracking clutter goes. HOW IT WORKS Land on a supported page and the address-bar URL is rewritten to its canonical short form in place, no reload, no flicker. On the largest supported shopping site, in-page product links are rewritten too, so right-click -> Copy link address also gives the clean form. Right-click any link (or any page) and choose "Copy clean URL" to clean it on the spot - this works on every site, because the universal tracking-parameter stripper kicks in as a fallback. It also sees through tracking redirectors: links wrapped by corporate email protection, search-result click-trackers, social outbound wrappers, and AMP viewer pages all copy as their REAL destination - recovered from the link itself, never by making a network request. Works on selected text too (even URLs that aren't clickable links), the toolbar popup shows the current page's cleaned link with a one-click copy button, a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+L by default) does the same without opening anything, and typing "clean" in the address bar followed by a pasted URL jumps straight to its clean form. On hotel and rental listing pages, a small floating widget offers one-click copy buttons: the bare listing URL, or the listing with your selected dates included. It hides itself automatically on small screens. CONTROLS A master toggle turns everything off instantly, with a visible OFF badge. Every site has its own toggle, organized into collapsible regional groups with a filter box to find any site instantly; groups remember how you left them. An opt-in "Universal tracking strip" (off by default) extends cleanup to every site you visit: the browser asks you to grant the wider permission the first time you enable it, and you can revoke it at any time. An Advanced settings page lets you skip chosen domains or always keep chosen parameters. All preferences sync across your browser installs. ZERO DATA COLLECTION No analytics, no telemetry, no network requests of any kind. The only thing stored is your toggle settings. Nothing ever leaves your browser.
