Clean copy URL is a free Chrome extension developed by Alben Software. This useful extension allows users to choose which URL to copy to the clipboard based on the webpage they are viewing. It specifically helps in removing all the tracking data that websites like Amazon usually append to product search URLs. With Clean copy URL, users can easily obtain a clean and concise link without any unnecessary information.

One common example where Clean copy URL comes in handy is when users want to copy an Amazon product URL. Instead of copying a lengthy URL with additional tracking parameters, this extension allows users to quickly generate a clean link that only includes the essential information.

In addition, Clean copy URL provides the option to open the cleaned up link in either the current window or in a new one, offering flexibility and convenience to users.

It is worth noting that Clean copy URL requires the "tabs" permission in Chrome, which allows it to read and change data on websites visited. However, as an open-source project, users have the opportunity to review the code and understand how the extension functions, ensuring transparency and addressing any concerns about data privacy.
