General URL Cleaner

Cleans the URL's and page links on Google, Youtube, Newegg, Amazon, and Ebay

Google

• Always uses https • Cleans Google search URL's ▫ A normal google search URL might look like this: https://www.google.com/search?num=100&q=google&oq=google&gs_l=serp.3..0l10.7976.8565.0.9999.6.6.0.0.0.0.358.617.2-1j1.2.0....0...1c.1.64.serp..4.2.615.BQ3ZvdzuPGE ▫ A cleaned google search url: https://www.google.com/search?q=google • Removes redirection of Google results links • Works with international google sites (not just .com)

Youtube

• Always uses https • Cleaned url always looks like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[video-id] • Removes redirection of description links • Disables SPF prefetching of page links

Amazon

• Cleaned url always looks like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/[item-id]/    Or this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/[item-id]/ • Note: Amazon does not support https on product pages

Newegg

• Cleaned url always looks like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=[item-id] • Note: newegg does not support https on product pages

Ebay

Dealtime

• I have dealtime blocked via a hosts file (along with a lot of other ad sites). So This script extracts the actual URL it's supposed to redirect to.
