s=
Which app you shared from
A number for the app or platform you shared from. The numbers vary, the hint doesn’t.
Stop X from snitching on your links. Share the post, not yourself.
Every time you copy or share a post, X quietly tags the link with who shared it and which app they used. Unsnitch strips that tag before the link leaves your hands. Free, open source, and it never touches the network.
How it works
What X adds to your links. The link you copy isn’t just the post.
t=
A token tied to you
A unique token linked to the account that shared it. Whoever opens the link can be connected back to you.
a=
A newer token, same idea
X has started adding a= as well. Another identifier that rides along with every share.
Unsnitch removes every query parameter on X links except the few that search needs (q, f, pf, lf). Hashes, paths and every non-X link are left untouched.

Works in Chrome, Edge, Brave and other Chromium browsers, plus Firefox 128+.

Small enough to read in one sitting. A privacy tool you can’t audit is just another tracker.
Open source, MIT
Every line is on GitHub. The cleaner itself is ~80 lines; the whole extension is ~600.
Zero network calls
No analytics, no remote code, no servers. Links are cleaned on your device and never leave it.
Minimal permissions
Only storage, contextMenus and clipboardWrite. It runs on x.com and twitter.com, nowhere else.
Zero dependencies
No npm packages, no bundler, no build step to load it. What you read is what runs.
