User reviews

Does the job by removing the part after the "?" in the URL. However, two issues: 1. it won't go an extra mile to remove unnecessary parts that are before "?", such as "ref=...". This is understandable as this is not safe in general, and depends on how the website uses such extra information. But it could still remove those parts by having extra patterns pre-registered for the most famous websites, and maybe even let the user define their own patterns for lesser known websites (I understand that would require a higher development budget though). The other extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/clean-copy/feafcnldgdkaeielkndolgflbegokjkb/ has pre-registered and user patterns, unfortunately it is 10 years old and doesn't work anymore (I don't see any button to Clean Copy). 2. no shortcut to quick copy. I can add a shortcut in chrome://extensions/shortcuts to Activate the extension, but it just opens the popup as if clicking on the extension button: I must still click on the Copy button afterward. I copy a *lot* of Amazon URLs so a shortcut to Clean Copy the current URL would really help.
