What's New in URLStrip
1.3.1
October 1, 2026
URLStrip 1.3.1 adds clearer, safer controls for privacy-friendly link redirects and content updates. • Privacy Redirects for supported X/Twitter links can be set to Off, a reviewed Nitter-compatible service, or TwitterViewer. • A new Privacy Services catalog shows clear active, paused, and retired states for all supported services. • Check for and install verified cleaning-rule and service-list updates from visible in-app controls. • Keep unsupported or unsafe redirect cases on the original site after normal tracker cleaning. • Improve Reddit share-link titles and preserve useful post context before optional privacy redirects. • Add more exact tracker-cleaning coverage while preserving functional link data. • Improve Safari Extension, Share Extension, and settings behavior. Normal link cleaning remains local. Privacy redirects are optional, off by default, and use independent third-party services only when you choose them.
