Extension summary

Analyze keywords

This extension lets you choose which URL to copy to the clipboard based on the page you are viewing. It helps you remove all the tracking data sites like Amazon typically append to your product search. It also lets you open a selected cleaned up link in either the current window or in a new one.

A typical example is when you end up with:

https://www.amazon.com/Mathematica-Cookbook-Building-Science-Engineering/dp/0596520999/ref=mp_s_a_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1540661026&sr=8-17&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=mathematica&dpPl=1&dpID=51VOw%2BIWKRL&ref=plSrch

When all you want is:

https://www.amazon.com/Mathematica-Cookbook-Building-Science-Engineering/dp/0596520999

This extensions needs the "tabs" permission, which Chrome describes as "can read and change all your data on websites you visit." That description is very scary, and is certainly not what this extension is doing. Being an open-sourced project, you can always read all the code to see how this extension works, and what it's [not] doing with your data.

User reviews

Works great, does exactly what I wanted it to do.

William Crumpler, 2024-08-09

This is happening more often now - I think the product is excellent but I've detected a possible improvement. Clean copy URL works great and you can pick from a selection of versions of the URL (can cut right back to the home base of the site if you want, or you can cut back to the current page). The code apparently relies on the presence of a question mark (others have done this too) and is very accurate. However, when you ask a question using Google, the marker for the answer is a hashtag (#) not a question mark (?), and there is no question mark in the URL. consequently, your only options are the whole fluffy url or the root website, not even the page you're on. for an example, google "how borax kills ants" and check out the Terminix hit. Thanks for the great app! :)
