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);
}
