URLCheck in detail
axonym.bearblog.devHaven’t seen a lot of talk about URLCheck.
It can clear useless URL parameters, unshorten shortened links, scan links with VirusTotal (API key required) or redirect you to privacy friendly websites like Nitter or Libreddit.
If you are interested checking it out, check out my guide I made on it too!
PS. I’m not affiliated with the dev/app in any way. Just wanted to share this useful app that no one has been talking about.
A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn’t great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post

- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

I use this, extremely handy app for inspecting links. It also warns you if the link contains unnecessary unicode chars, preventing the potential file extension issue with dot zip domains.
Easy to edit the config for the modules too - I added an additional filter to proxy Imgur images (via rewriting the url), as that site is partially blocked on my network
