Removes tracking parameters (like si=) from YouTube share links when you copy them. Every time you tap "Share" on a YouTube video, YouTube quietly appends a personal tracking token to the link — the si= parameter. It doesn't change what the link opens, but it does tag that specific link back to your account and the device you copied it from. If you paste that link into a group chat, a forum post, or an email, that tracking token goes along for the ride. YouTube Share Link Cleaner removes it automatically. The moment you copy a YouTube link — from the Share panel, a right-click copy, or a keyboard shortcut — the extension rewrites it down to just what matters: the video ID, plus a timestamp or playlist reference if one was included. No tracking noise, no extra steps. Why install it One less thing to think about. You don't have to remember to strip the link yourself before sending it — it's already clean by the time it hits your clipboard. Cleaner links for the people you send them to. A link like youtube.com/watch?v=8pncuJs-Z10 is shorter, more recognizable, and doesn't reveal that it was copied specifically by you. Nothing lost. Timestamps (t=) and playlist references (list=, index=) are preserved — only tracking parameters are removed. Private by design. Everything happens locally, inside your browser, the instant you copy. The extension doesn't read your browsing history, doesn't phone home, and doesn't need any account or permission beyond running on YouTube pages. Invisible until you need it. No popup, no icon to click, no settings to manage. Install it once and forget it's there. How it works The extension watches for the clipboard write that happens when you copy a YouTube link (through the Share dialog or otherwise) and rewrites the URL before it lands on your clipboard, keeping the video ID and any useful query parameters while dropping tracking ones like si=. Works on both youtube.com and youtu.be links, including Shorts. This extension is an independent tool and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by YouTube or Google.
