Jimothy's Link Shortener 作成者: Jimothy

URLs from Amazon, hotel sites, and every major social network are a mess. A single product, post, or video can hide its identifier behind a hundred characters of tracking IDs, session tokens, search-result breadcrumbs, and "where you came from" attribution. Jimothy's Link Shortener cleans them up automatically — and on the hotel sites, gives you a one-click way to copy a clean shareable version with or without dates.

AMAZON — AUTOMATIC
Every time you land on an Amazon product page, the extension rewrites the URL in your address bar to the shortest shareable form — just amazon.com/dp/<product-id>. It also rewrites every product link on the page, so right-click → Copy link address gives you the clean URL too, without having to open the product first. Sponsored-result wrappers (/sspa/click?...&url=…) and /gp/slredirect/… redirectors are unwrapped automatically.

Optional: turn on "Include Amazon item name" to keep the human-readable product slug in the URL — e.g. amazon.com/Acme-Smoked-Fish/dp/B0D47V1Q5B instead of bare amazon.com/dp/B0D47V1Q5B. The slug is read from the URL when present and from the product title otherwise.

AGODA, BOOKING.COM, EXPEDIA, AIRBNB — AUTOMATIC + ONE-CLICK

On a hotel or rental listing page, two things happen:

The address bar is cleaned up automatically. Tracking, session, search-id, and impression params are stripped, leaving just the listing URL plus your selected dates and occupancy. The page doesn't reload.

A small floating toolbar appears in the top-left corner with two copy buttons:

• Share Property / Share Listing — copies the bare listing URL (no dates, no query string).
• With Dates — copies the listing URL with check-in/check-out preserved. Disabled until you've actually picked dates.

Click a button, the link is on your clipboard, a brief "Copied!" confirmation appears. Don't want the floating widget? There's a "Hide travel popup" toggle in the popup that suppresses it while keeping the address-bar cleanup running.

FACEBOOK & INSTAGRAM — AUTOMATIC

Land on a Facebook post (/UserName/posts/, /share/p/, /reel/, /watch?v=, /photo.php, /permalink.php, /groups/.../posts/, fb.watch short links, m.facebook.com mobile) and the address bar is cleaned to just the post identifier. Same for Instagram (/p/, /reel/, /reels/, /tv/, /stories/<user>/<id>). Tracking parameters like mibextid, cft, tn, igsh, igshid, utm_source — all stripped, in place, no reload.

YOUTUBE — AUTOMATIC

YouTube share links pick up an si= tracking blob, plus pp=, feature=, list=, index=, and assorted utm tags. The extension keeps just ?v= (the video ID) and ?t= (timestamp, when set) on /watch URLs, /shorts/, /live/, /embed/, and the youtu.be short form. /playlist?list= keeps just the playlist ID. m.youtube.com and music.youtube.com both supported.

TWITTER / X — AUTOMATIC

Tweet URLs get cleaned to just /<user>/status/<id>. Both twitter.com and x.com (the rebrand) and mobile.twitter.com all match. Profile and search pages are intentionally left alone since query parameters there usually express user intent.

TIKTOK — AUTOMATIC

/@user/video/, /@user/photo/, /t/, plus vm.tiktok.com and vt.tiktok.com short links. TikTok carries some of the heaviest tracking-param payloads on the internet (is_from_webapp, sender_device, web_id, _d, _r, checksum, iid…); all of it goes.

REDDIT — AUTOMATIC

/r/<sub>/comments/<id>/<slug> and the newer /r/<sub>/s/<short> share form, plus redd.it short links. Tracking params (utm_source, utm_medium, context, …) get stripped. old.reddit.com and np.reddit.com subdomains are preserved as-is for users who specifically prefer those layouts.

SPOTIFY — AUTOMATIC

open.spotify.com share URLs for tracks, albums, playlists, artists, episodes, shows, users, and locale-prefixed paths (intl-de, intl-pt, etc.) all get the si= and utm_* params stripped, leaving the canonical /<kind>/<id> form.

ON ALL SUPPORTED SITES

Master on/off toggle in the toolbar popup, with a visible "OFF" badge when disabled.
Per-site toggles for every supported site, so you can keep the extension on for the sites you care about and quiet for the rest.

"Hide travel popup" suppresses the floating toolbar widget on hotel sites; URL-bar cleanup keeps running.

"Include Amazon item name" controls whether Amazon URLs include the product-title slug.

Your toggle preferences sync across Chrome installations via your Google account.
Works on browser back/forward and in-page (single-page) navigations on every supported site.

REGIONAL DOMAINS

Amazon: amazon.com, .co.uk, .de, .fr, .it, .es, .nl, .se, .pl, .com.tr, .com.au, .co.jp, .in, .sg, .ae, .sa, .eg, .com.mx, .com.br, .ca, .com.be. A page on amazon.de stays on amazon.de — only the path is shortened.

Expedia and Airbnb across .com, .co.uk, .ca, .com.au, .de, .fr, .it, .es, .nl, .com.mx, .com.br, .co.jp, .com.sg, .co.in. Booking.com and Agoda each use a single global domain. Social Media sites are matched on their main hosts plus their short-link aliases (youtu.be, redd.it, fb.watch, x.com, vm.tiktok.com, vt.tiktok.com).

ZERO DATA COLLECTION
No analytics. No telemetry. No remote calls. The extension makes zero network requests. It stores a small number of booleans in chrome.storage.sync: one master toggle, one per supported site, and two feature flags (hide-popup and include-Amazon-title). Nothing else leaves your browser.

TINY AND FAST
The entire extension is around a thousand lines of JavaScript running entirely on your machine. URL rewrites use history.replaceState, so there's no reload and no flicker. The hotel-site toolbar uses a closed Shadow DOM so the host site's CSS can't touch it.
