From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I wish that option was the default in Firefox.
It rarely ever does anything in my experience.
Anyway, I built a URL-cleaning script in AutoHotkey, but that's Windows-only; I, too, am on the hunt for a Linux equivalent. Maybe this could be done in SikuliX or Espanso, via a Python script, but I suck at Python so far.
It's never worked for me either. The ClearURLs addon has a function to copy a clean URL and that works great though. It's open source, so maybe someone could turn its cleaning function into a program that could be used for the clipboard.
Hmm. Thanks, though I'm seeking universal /offline so if I get URLs in other platforms, I won't have to turn to the browser to purge them of junk. Or maybe this could be converted into a standalone program...
Alternatively you can configure a hotkey in the GNOME Settings, or the equivalent for other DEs, to execute a bash script or anything.
