Removes trackers and surrounding text

E.g.:

"Gerade bei #Kleinanzeigen gefunden. Wie findest du das? https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/tp-link-ax5400-archer-ax73/2541682018-168-1255?utm_source=copyToPasteboard&utm_campaign=socialbuttons&utm_medium=social&utm_content=app_ios"

becomes

"https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/tp-link-ax5400-archer-ax73/2541682018-168-1255"

Tracking part is from u/sharp-guru

Or, you know, don't include everything from the "?" onward... 🤷🏼‍♂️ Pretty simple manual fix.

Can’t tell if you’re joking or not, but I’m assuming you know that that would lead to issues in some places

Are you implying that this tool somehow doesn't run into said issues, then?

I can’t guarantee that it won’t ever lead to an issue anywhere, but it’s specifically only removing tracking query parameters. I can guarantee if you’re removing all query parameters you’ll definitely run into an issue sooner or later.

But if you’d rather remove all query parameters feel free to adjust the shortcut or do so manually. I’m not forcing this on anyone.
