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.

Hi, better late than never, right?

I wanted to be able to inspect the URL paths and parameters, before actually engaging with the website itself, and be able to interact with these fields in a convenient way, just like with URLCheck on android. Also, if possible, to check the URL, to see if it redirects anywhere.

On PC, while it's not what I wanted to achieve, I settled on using Redirect Link extension, so at least after I spot a link that I want to redirect, I can clean it as I want and redirect it automatically. For example: these annoying AliExpress GCP links to normal item page with these regexps: https://www.aliexpress.com/gcp/.+/?.*=&%3FproductIds=%5Cd+.* -> https://www.aliexpress.com/item/%q[productIds].html
