Copy the link, not the tracking
Every link you share carries a tail of utm_source, fbclid and gclid that tells someone where your friend clicked from. LinkScrub removes it the moment you copy, so what you paste is the address and nothing else.
By clicking “Add to Chrome”, you agree to install the LinkScrub extension as described in our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. Installing it does not change any of your existing browser settings.
How it works
Those parameters after the question mark are not part of the page. They are a note to an analytics system about who sent you — and they travel on to everyone you share the link with.
It recognises the junk
A maintained list of tracking parameters — the utm_* family, fbclid, gclid, mc_eid, igshid and dozens more — plus the redirect wrappers that hide a real link inside another one.
It cleans as you copy
Copy a link from the address bar, a right-click menu or a share button — the clean version lands on your clipboard. Nothing to press afterwards, nothing to remember.
Nothing leaves your browser
The matching happens locally, on your machine. No account, no cloud, no log of the links you copy — because there is no server on the other end at all.
Why people use it
A link is an address. Everything after it is someone else's bookkeeping.
Share without passing on a tracker
When you send a campaign link to a friend, their click gets attributed to whoever tagged it. A clean link simply opens the page.
Links you can actually read
Forty characters instead of two hundred. Easier to paste into a message, a document or a chat without wrapping across three lines.
Tidier bookmarks and notes
Saved links stop carrying a campaign from two years ago, and the same page stops being saved twice under two different URLs.
Privacy by design, not by promise
The extension has no analytics and no remote calls. What you copy stays on your device because it never had anywhere else to go.
Get started in seconds
There is nothing to configure and no account to create.
Add it to Chrome
Open the Chrome Web Store listing and click “Add to Chrome”. The install takes one click.
Copy a link as usual
No setup screen, no onboarding. The next link you copy is already clean.
Keep what you need
Working with campaign links yourself? Add a site to the keep list and LinkScrub leaves its parameters alone.
Questions, answered
Will cleaning break the link?
No. Tracking parameters are read by analytics tools, not by the page itself, so removing them leads to exactly the same content. Parameters a page genuinely needs — a search query, a page number, a video timestamp, a product id — are never touched.
What exactly gets removed?
Known tracking parameters only: the utm_* family, fbclid, gclid, dclid, msclkid, mc_cid, mc_eid, igshid, the newsletter ref variants and similar. Anything not on the list stays exactly as it was.
I run marketing campaigns — won't this get in my way?
Add your own domains to the keep list and their links are copied untouched. You can also pause the extension with one click while you are building campaign URLs.
Does LinkScrub collect any data about me?
No. It has no accounts, no analytics and no server. The links you copy are matched against the list locally and are never transmitted anywhere.
Is it really free?
Yes. No paid tier, no trial, no ads inside the extension.
Send clean links from now on
Free, instant and entirely local. Install it once and forget the tracking tails exist.
