Text, Rich Text and URLs

COMMENT

Clean Up URL v1.0 2022-08-21 https://routinehub.co/shortcut/12855/ This Shortcut cleans up URLs, removing tracking data and other useless attributes. When copying URLs from social platforms or search engines, those sites often include extra data in them to track users and where they got those addresses. This will remove all of the “query” or “search” params. In simpler terms, everything after the ‘?’ in the URL will be removed, including said punctuation. The only exception is the video ID in YouTube URLs. More exceptions may be added later. Be careful when initially using this Shortcut, as YMMV. It may do too much or too little for you.
