CleanMyURL helps protect against tracking by social media platforms when you share links or click links shared with you. . It easily removes tracking information from the "query string" (the part of a link after the ?=), and also lets you save your own private history of links across all platforms you use. You can save and share your history, and you can remove it altogether after saving to allow you to reload it in the future. The app will also extract and clean the first link in any block of text you copy in, so you can copy-paste whole messages containing links to get a clean link you can then click on.
