I'm sorry, but it's my pet peeve. If you're on iOS/macOS I built a 100% free and privacy-friendly app to get rid of tracking parameters from hundreds of different websites, not just X/Twitter.

This is great! I have been meaning to implement this sort of thing in my existing Shortcuts flow but I see you already support it in Shortcuts! Thank you for this!

Anywhere I can toss a Tip for this free app?

It works on iOS? That’s cool. I’ll give it a go.

So what is your motivation for doing this, incidentally? Can you be explicit about it? I am genuinely curious.

Especially when it’s to the point of, you know, nagging/policing people to do it the way you’d prefer, when you could just redirect your router requests from x.com to xcancel.com
