Show HN: Wirier – Browser-based URL cleaner for tracking parameters

1 points by renbuilds 3 months ago · 0 comments · 1 min read

I kept manually deleting UTM parameters and click IDs from URLs before sharing them. Eventually I built a small tool to do it automatically.

wirier.com

It's a single-page app that strips 210+ tracking parameters from URLs. Everything runs client-side in JavaScript. URLs never leave your browser.

What it removes: - Platform trackers (fbclid, gclid, ttclid, msclkid, twclid, etc.)

- UTM parameters

- Analytics junk (_ga, _gl, _hsenc, mkt_tok)

- Recruiter/ATS tracking (Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, LinkedIn Jobs, Indeed, Glassdoor, and others)

- Affiliate parameters

Also unwraps redirect URLs from Facebook, Twitter, Google AMP, YouTube, and LinkedIn.

The recruiter tracking stuff was a recent addition after some job seekers requested it. Turns out there are 60+ parameters across 18 different ATS systems that track candidate activity.

Happy to answer questions about the implementation.
