About URLSanitizer

Don't like those tracking GET queries from the big brothers? Here, this app got your back.

Features:

Cleanup URLs when opening link

Sharing URLs to this app also cleans the URL

How to use:

Opening a link: Simply open the link with this app first, and choose the app you want to use to open the link afterwards.

Sharing a link: Share to this app first, and choose the app you want the link to share to afterwards.

Adding missing GET query(ies): Open the app, fill the query in, then tap on "Add Entry" button.

(Note. Wildcard is supported since 1.3.0, check default entries for usage)

How it works:

This app handles Android intent to open/share link, so the app can get the URL and modify it, get rid of those dirty query and create another intent for your original action.
