I got so used to using it, filtering params manually and route editing when needed, that I find myself do it manually in a notepad on my PC lol. Does anyone know and OSS software that does that? From my searches I found only one app that claims to do that, but isn't OSS so I put it on hold. Worse case I'll block its access to the internet though.

What exactly are you removing from urls? It sounds like you need a tailored script that does a simple string replacement for you.

I don't think that would cover it. URLchecker acts as a default browser. When you click on a link it will let you if it will redirect you and where, if it has trackers in the link, you can also send the link for a quick virus scan.

Those are just the common uses, It has more features.

It looks like URLcheck leans on the cleanURL rules for its parameter rewriting.

If you install the plugin on your default browser is should offer much of the functionality you seek.
