# Safari Extension: Clean URLs

March 30, 2011

I have been picking up and developing a fork of [Grant Heaslip’s](http://github.com/grantheaslip)
Safari extension [URL clenser](http://github.com/akirk/url_cleanser) which removes
all sorts of un-necessary junk for the URL so that you can **easily pass on a clean
URL** to someone else. Things being removed include:

 * Google Analytics parameters (utm_source=, utm_medium, etc.)
 * Youtube related parameters (feature=)
 * Partner tracking stuff for NYTimes, Macword, CNN, CBC Canada and The Star

You can download my version here: [url_cleanser.safariextz](https://alex.kirk.at/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2011/03/url_cleanser.safariextz)
