works at Google
makes anti-tracking software
Hmm, create the problem and sell the solution, well played…
Jk, doing something like this despite working at Google is freaking admirable, the guy even put a screenshot of “untracking” a YouTube URL in the project’s README, lol.
Btw, I thought I’d seen this name before and he’s the same guy behind the awesome Material Files!
I think being paid well makes it easier to commit time towards FOSS projects, so a lot of contributors are from similar backgrounds

How does this compare to URLCheck?
This could be really good if it could expand shortened links. Tiktok links have a creepy amount of tracking that can be easily bypassed by expanding the link and removing the tracking params.
Turns out that you can!
Expand Tiktok URLs
if ($.matches(url, '(www\\.)?tiktok\\.com')) { return $.followRedirect(url); }
Remove tracking params
if ($.matches(url, '(www\\.)?tiktok\\.com')) { return $.setEncodedQuery(url, null); }
