i sometimes share links to websites that use tracking urls, either through a link shortener or through utm_* query parameters. i generally have to manually remove these from the link myself before sending to friends, so it'd be neat if this app could scan those urls to remove tracking stuff.

it should be simple enough to detect redirects and copy the resulting url from the Location header, and android provides handy url parsing tools you should be able to use to cleanly remove unwanted parameters

That's a really cool idea. A short of a "privacy mode". Can either be a setting, or maybe even a button in the notification. Super cool. :)
I'll happily accept a PR implementing this (after we discuss the pros and cons of each approach), though unfortunately I don't have the time to implement it in the near future.

Really old issue, but this would still be a great feature.
