Replaces the Youtube redirect tracking link with the actual link

Features & Capabilities

The Clean Youtube Links Chrome extension enhances your YouTube browsing experience by removing redirect tracking links that YouTube adds to external URLs. Instead of navigating through Google's redirect URLs which track your clicks and slow down your browsing, this extension automatically replaces these redirects with the direct destination links.

It achieves this by continuously observing new anchor tags on YouTube pages. Whenever a redirect link (typically starting with www.youtube.com/redirect) is detected, it extracts the actual target URL and updates the link accordingly. This process not only improves your privacy by preventing tracking but also speeds up link navigation by removing unnecessary redirects.

This lightweight, privacy-focused extension is ideal for users who want a cleaner and faster way to click external links on YouTube without being tracked or slowed down by Google's redirect URLs.

User Reviews

Removes Google's tracking from clicking links on Youtube. Works like a charm, doesn't require a lot of permissions. Strange how this hasn't more downloads.

Is Clean Youtube links Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Clean Youtube links requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
