## Description

Bypass tracking redirects and affiliate wrappers. "Strip Hyperlink" seamlessly extracts the true destination URL from heavily encoded tracking links, allowing you to copy the direct link without being tracked. Many modern websites, newsletters, and affiliate marketers wrap their links in complex tracking redirects (e.g., redirect?url=https://...). This compromises your privacy, clutters your clipboard when sharing links, and can slow down your browsing experience. 

This lightweight extension adds an options to your right-click context
menu whenever you right-click on any link: Copy direct link: Copies the clean, decoded destination URL directly to your clipboard for sharing or inspection.

Automatically scans query parameters to find and decode nested HTTP/HTTPS URLs. All URL parsing and extraction is done locally on your device. The extension does not collect, store, or transmit any data.
