About HyLink — Hover Link Menu

Every link you copy or open drags tracking along with it — utm_, fbclid, gclid and hundreds of others that tell advertisers where you came from and travel with the link when you share it. HyLink strips them out, and makes opening links faster while it's at it. Hover a link and a small menu appears beside it. One click copies it clean, or opens it clean in a new tab, a new window, incognito, or side by side with the page you're on. No right-click, no digging through a menu, no pasting into a URL cleaner afterwards. Cleaning uses Brave's rule list, so what you share is just the link. Turn it off in the options if a site needs its parameters. It stays out of your way — nothing appears until your pointer pauses on a link, and only in body text. Private by design — no network requests, no analytics, no account. Chrome's "read and change all your data" warning is its standard wording for any extension that runs on every site; HyLink reads only the link under your pointer.
