Stripped snips the tracking parameters — utm, fbclid, gclid and the rest — off a link the moment you copy it. Short, private URLs, and because it only acts when you copy, it never breaks the pages you browse.

That one choice is the whole point. Other URL cleaners rewrite pages live as you use them, which is exactly why they break shopping filters, spreadsheets and login flows. Stripped leaves the page completely alone and only acts on the link you actually take with you.
Copy a link anywhere and Stripped hands it back clean, with a small "Stripped N trackers" receipt. Right-click a link, a selection or the page for "Copy clean link" (a Markdown variant is included). It never touches the live page, so nothing on the site can break.
Copy · right-click · Alt+Shift+CWant URLs tidied as you browse a specific site too? Turn browse-clean on per site — it's off by default. Fragile sites (Google apps, Amazon, iCloud, Microsoft) are on a protection list and warn you before you can force it, because live rewriting is what breaks things.

Copy a link and Stripped strips it automatically, with a small "Stripped N trackers" receipt. Or right-click a link, selection or page for "Copy clean link" — Markdown option included.
Undoes redirect wrappers like google.com/url and Outlook SafeLinks, turns AMP links back into the real page, and drops the long #:~:text= highlight tails.
It only removes parameters on its published list — anything unrecognised is kept, so links keep working. Search queries, IDs and login tokens are explicitly protected.
The tracking-parameter list refreshes automatically every six hours, so new trackers get stripped without waiting for an extension update. Offline-safe: it always falls back to the last cached, then bundled, list.
The full list of what gets stripped is viewable in settings. A one-toggle whitelist switches Stripped off on any site, and a batch cleaner tidies every URL in any text you paste.
No account, no analytics, no tracking — everything stays on your device. Stripped only ever writes to your clipboard; it never reads it.
With auto-clean on, any link you copy is stripped in place, with a quiet receipt showing what came off. Turn the toast off if you'd rather it stay silent.
"Copy clean link" on any link, selection or page — plus a Markdown variant for notes and docs. Nothing runs until you ask for it.
Press Alt+Shift+C to copy a clean link to the page you're on, without opening anything. Straight from the address bar to a tidy URL.
Every feature is free permanently — no subscription, no paid tier, no locked settings, ever. Stripped runs entirely on your device, so there's almost nothing for us to pay for. It's funded by goodwill: if it saves you from ugly links, you can leave a tip. That's the whole business model.
Stripped is one of a family of independent Chrome extensions built in the UK. No bloat, no dark patterns.

Because Stripped doesn't touch the pages you browse. Cleaners that rewrite URLs live are the ones that break shopping filters, spreadsheets and login flows. Stripped only acts on a link when you copy or share it, leaving the live page exactly as the site built it. If you do want browse-time cleaning on a particular site, it's there as an opt-in toggle — off by default, and it warns you on sites known to be fragile.
No. Stripped only removes parameters on its published strip list — anything it doesn't recognise is kept. Functional parameters like search queries, video IDs, timestamps and login tokens are explicitly protected, and the full list of what gets stripped is viewable in the settings so you can audit it yourself.
The usual tracking junk — utm_*, fbclid, gclid, msclkid, igshid and many more — plus site-specific ones on Amazon, YouTube, X, TikTok, LinkedIn and others. It also unwraps redirect links like google.com/url and Outlook SafeLinks, converts AMP links back to the real page, and removes the long #:~:text= highlight tails.
Stripped downloads an updated tracking-parameter list every six hours, so new trackers get handled without waiting on a Chrome Web Store update. It's a read-only JSON data file, and if the fetch ever fails it falls back to your last cached copy, then to the list bundled with the extension — newest valid version wins.
Yes — every feature, free permanently, with no paid tier and nothing that will move behind a paywall later. There's no account and no license. If Stripped helps you, you can leave an optional tip at ko-fi.com/niallcodes. That's the entire model.
No accounts, no analytics, no tracking. Your settings and statistics live only on your device. Stripped makes just two kinds of network request: the automatic read-only download of the ruleset (no data about you is sent), and a problem report you send only if you explicitly click one. Full detail is in the privacy policy.
