FAQ
Is QuietLink free?
Yes. It's free on Microsoft Edge Add-ons, with no account and no ads.
What are tracking parameters like utm_source and fbclid?
Extra bits added to the end of a link so marketers and ad networks can see where a click came from. They aren't needed to open the page, so QuietLink removes them before you share the link.
Will the cleaned link still work?
QuietLink only removes parameters it knows are tracking tags and keeps everything else (page IDs, search terms, video timestamps), so the link opens the same page.
Does it clean links automatically while I browse?
No. It cleans a link when you copy it with QuietLink (icon, right-click menu or Alt+Shift+L). Rewriting links in the background would need access to every site you visit, which QuietLink deliberately doesn't ask for.
Does it see my browsing or my clipboard?
No. It only sees the address of the tab you're on, right after you click its icon or press its shortcut. It writes to the clipboard but never reads it, stores nothing and makes no network requests.
Is there a Firefox or Chrome version?
Right now it's available on Microsoft Edge. Other stores may come later.
