What exactly are you removing from urls? It sounds like you need a tailored script that does a simple string replacement for you.
I don't think that would cover it. URLchecker acts as a default browser. When you click on a link it will let you if it will redirect you and where, if it has trackers in the link, you can also send the link for a quick virus scan.
Those are just the common uses, It has more features.
Hi, better late than never, right?
I wanted to be able to inspect the URL paths and parameters, before actually engaging with the website itself, and be able to interact with these fields in a convenient way, just like with URLCheck on android. Also, if possible, to check the URL, to see if it redirects anywhere.
On PC, while it's not what I wanted to achieve, I settled on using Redirect Link extension, so at least after I spot a link that I want to redirect, I can clean it as I want and redirect it automatically. For example: these annoying AliExpress GCP links to normal item page with these regexps:
https://www.aliexpress.com/gcp/.+/?.*=&%3FproductIds=%5Cd+.*->https://www.aliexpress.com/item/%q[productIds].html
