|
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
