Votrixain v0.4.4

Votrixain is a lightweight Chrome extension that removes known tracking parameters from URLs while preserving the destination link.

This release introduces the Votrixain branding and includes URL-cleaning improvements, interface refinements, and theme customization.

What's new

  • New identity: CleanLink has been renamed to Votrixain
  • Updated extension name, popup branding, documentation, and package identifier
  • Migrated the saved theme preference to retain existing settings where extension storage is preserved

Features

  • Clean pasted URLs directly from the extension popup
  • Remove recognized tracking parameters, including utm_*, fbclid, gclid, igshid, cplk, and obrf
  • Remove query parameters from Instagram post and Reel URLs while preserving the URL path and fragment
  • Preserve unrecognized query parameters on other supported URLs
  • Optionally enable automatic URL cleaning for individual websites
  • Choose between System, Light, and Dark themes

Privacy and permissions

  • URL parsing and manual cleanup happen locally in your browser
  • No account system, analytics SDK, remote code, or URL-cleaning backend
  • Automatic cleaning requires permission for each website you choose
  • Website permissions are optional and are not granted automatically during installation

Votrixain is a URL cleaner, not a complete anti-tracking or ad-blocking solution. It does not block cookies, tracking pixels, browser fingerprinting, or server-side tracking.
