Copy clean URLs with ClearURL

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 12 points 11 months ago

Don't know if any other browsers do it, but Firefox for desktop added an option when right clicking links to copy without URL tracker. I don't know if it works on yt links, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.
