untrack-url

Why?

If you follow such shopping url, and commit a purchase, some advertising party will earn some money on you.

However, you can prevent this by feeding the short url into untrack-url tool:

$ untrack-url http://ali.ski/gkMqy

all tracking query params will be removed, before opening in browser, so nobody will earn money on you, except the seller. 😇

Installation

untrack-url requires Go 1.7 or later.

$ go get -u github.com/vbauerster/untrack-url
