UrlDebloater

Remove tracking params from URLs.

Supported websites

• Youtube & Youtube music (clears url query params)
• Twitter (clears url query params)
• TikTok (unshorts vm.tiktok.com links)
• Soundcloud (unshorts on.soundcloud.com links)
• Spotify (clears url query params on open.spotify.com)

Features

• automatically extract links from clipboard
• unshorten tiktok per user links (https://vm.tiktok.com/PerUserGeneratedPath) to "anonymous" links (https://tiktok.com/@user/video/852438128934291)
  ⚠️ it sends request to tiktok in background to achieve this (can still be correlated with your IP address, see mixing capabilities) ⚠️
• tray icon with helpful shortcuts
• gui configuration

Todo

• act as default http url scheme handler, so opened link from non-browser program will be proxied through debloater before opening it in browser of your choice.
• optional ClearURLs database support

Unshortening

To unroll and debloat some URLs like vm.tiktok.com there is need to ask their servers for more information. UrlDebloater by default sends request from your network to resolve it.
There is possibility to use mixer (a web server exposing endpoint to unshort URL from network where mixer is hosted, it is AKA "proxy"). I host public instance of mixer at https://urldebloater.makin.cc. Using untrusted mixer instance may be privacy concern, but is this really scary for tiktok links?
