github link cleaner

this userscript strips github’s internal tracking attributes from all links and hardens link behavior for better privacy and security.

what it does

removes github hydro tracking attributes from every link
strips hovercard-related tracking metadata
forces rel="noopener noreferrer" on all anchors
watches the dom and cleans links added dynamically
keeps counters for how many links were cleaned
- since page load
- since script installation
prints clean, styled status logs to the dev console

why you might want it

github injects a lot of tracking metadata into links for analytics and ui behavior. this script removes that noise while preserving normal navigation, making links simpler, cleaner, and harder to abuse via referrer leaks or tab-nabbing.

notes

runs only on github.com
does not block network requests or break site functionality
uses localStorage only to persist a total cleaned-links counter
no external dependencies, no remote code
