When using the `Share` button -> `Copy` button to copy the share link, YouTube
* Purpose
When using the ~Share~ button -> ~Copy~ button to copy the share link, YouTube
adds a tracking portion to the URL.
To deal with this annoyance, yt-share-cleaner:
1. runs whenever the mouse is clicked
2. reads the contents of the clipboard
3. if the clipboard has a YouTube share link, remove the tracking portion and
write the new URL to the clipboard
* Installation
** Firefox
Install yt-share-cleaner using the AMO link above.
** Chrome, Chromium-based browsers
These are not supported, but the extension should work on them as well.
Not available on the Chrome Web Store. I am not inclined to pay Google's
registration fee. See your browser's documentation on installing 3rd-party
extensions.
* Usage
1. click on the ~Copy~ button
2. yt-share-cleaner reads the clipboard; if the content is a YouTube share link,
the tracking parameter is removed
3. yt-share-cleaner writes the cleaned link to the clipboard
