URLStrip 1.3 makes its most useful cleaning and sharing actions easier to reach while adding more user-controlled privacy tools. • Redesigned the Clean screen so Open, Copy, Share, and QR actions are easier to find. • Added optional direct-link resolution for supported Instagram, Threads, and Reddit share links. • Restored opt-in X/Twitter Privacy Redirects through XCancel and preserved Reddit privacy redirects. • Improved X/Twitter and Reddit sharing with useful public post context when available, with safe links-only fallback. • Added optional daily checks for reviewed cleaning-rule updates and verified automatic installation with rollback protection. • Added conservative unknown-parameter alerts and exact-name custom blocklists with undo. • Improved Apple Maps and Google Maps handling to preserve useful location, search, and route details. • Fixed Safari, Share Extension, and link-cleaning edge cases. Normal link cleaning remains local. Optional network features are clearly labeled and controlled in Settings.
