I think if you get the video from Duck Duck Go, you can copy the link without the tracker. Plus, I think Firefox gives you option to “copy link without site tracking” from most search results
You shouldn’t need a site. If you look closely at the original link you posted, it’s usually demarked by either a & symbol or a ? symbol, both the symbols and all text that comes after them are extraneous data of some type (not always tracking, but tracking is most common).
For example, a youtube link where you put a timestamp so it always starts at a specific time would be https://youtu.be/aeyLZHaGj3s&t=30s
In this example, I appended “&t=30s” to the end of the link, which starts me at that time stamp (30 seconds). Removing it again provides a “clean link.”
So what you need to look out for are special characters, anything after those tend to be tracking data. (Not always, but mostly)
So find a special character (as I said, usually & or ?), and remove that character and everything that comes after it and you’ll have a clean link.
Another example (not tracking related) might be a zoom link. They’ll have a “?pwd=” followed by a hash of the password so you can log in without typing the password. “www.zoom.us/j/555555555?pwd=slfdujghagrfdlgkjh” Something like that for example (not a real zoom link).
Nice
Also here’s the link without the tracker
Thanks! What site do you use to clean the tracker off of links?
