#+TITLE: yt-share-cleaner
#+AUTHOR: chase
#+OPTIONS: toc:nil
*yt-share-cleaner* is an extension that removes tracking from YouTube share links.
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
