About Sanitize It

Sanitize It helps you instantly remove tracking and referral junk from links, so you can share clean, readable URLs in one click (or one hotkey, or one right-click). Whether you're posting in Slack, Discord, email, or social, Sanitize It makes sure your links look tidy and don't include unnecessary tracking parameters. Features: • One-Click URL Cleanup: Remove tracking parameters like utm_source, utm_medium, fbclid, and more. • Smart Mode: Preserves essential parameters on known sites like YouTube video IDs and timestamps, Google search queries, Kagi lenses, and Amazon product pages (every Amazon storefront, including your selected size and color) while still stripping trackers. Enabled by default, toggleable in settings. • Smart Mode Options: Opt-in toggles for even cleaner links — strip YouTube playlists from watch links, strip YouTube start times, or drop Amazon variant selections for the shortest canonical product link. • Right-Click Menu: Copy Sanitized URL, Copy + Refresh, or open Settings straight from the right-click menu on any page or on the toolbar icon. • Settings Panel: Choose your default click behavior (Copy only or Copy + Refresh) and tune Smart Mode. Access via right-click > Settings, or Alt+Shift+S. • Auto Copy to Clipboard: Cleaned URLs are automatically copied, so you can paste and share immediately. • Contextual Notifications: The toast tells you what happened, whether tracking was removed, essential params were kept, or the URL was already clean. • Keyboard Shortcuts - Sanitize + Copy: Alt+Shift+X (or Option+Shift+X) - Sanitize + Copy + Refresh: Alt+Shift+R (or Option+Shift+R) - Open Settings: Alt+Shift+S (or Option+Shift+S) • Refresh with the Clean URL: Perfect when you want the page you're viewing to load without tracking attached. Privacy-First & Open Source: No analytics, no data collection, no background activity. Sanitize It only runs when you invoke it. Settings stay in your browser (synced across your devices by your browser, never by us). Fully open source.
