Very helpful, thank you.

Could you include Yahoo? Their news stories come with a ton of trackers on them.

I could possibly include Yahoo. I don't use Yahoo so if you could provide some example "dirty" links and then their corresponding "clean" versions?

Here is a link I came across yesterday, prompting my query here:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/high-cholesterol-isn-t-always-080000643.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly9jaXRpemVuZnJlZXByZXNzLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAACXNkZ7eukypqlBx0vRPfsbNNgfXJI5oAcNT2AEG8-4lkUlr-x78IVZiX_z-Zv23eUrRhGlZA5X0e9_QWk4a0Rs7Gu7v5AZNRtd9QI1mynO389P7F_amg0_a59HCswnopnEfLz3KHk6sEk2rrHMYmi_d8P6Bo_wY9dyL_6uU7de7

It was hard to believe how much baggage was attached. All I would want to use if I shared it would be the basic:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/high-cholesterol-isn-t-always-080000643.html

Thanks much.

Yikes! I should be able to add some initial Yahoo support to the script this week.

Great. really appreciated.

I was able to add some initial support for Yahoo. Let me know if you see any issues or come across any more URL parameters/trackers that can be stripped

Thanks, appreciated. I'm a little confused. Now, even with Violent Monkey disabled, urls on yahoo pages are clean. It seems that the link I provided may have had its extra garbage added by someone else? Maybe a Telegram link? If so, I guess your script does not affect URLs already in the Address Bar. I'll keep watching to see if I can understand better.

Yeah it is possible that those didn't even come from Yahoo. Well regardless if Yahoo does add any of that, then the script should work to clean the URLs anyway!
