ClearURLs locally re-writes common "bounce" redirect links, avoiding a double round-trip when clicking on Google search links (among many others). I supplement this with Redirector for some light automation (old.reddit.com etc), but that's probably overkill.

How do I cleanup a Thunderbird Reddit email link that I open in Firefox?
You can use Request Control to remove specific or all parameters from URLs from certain domains and do all kinds of redirections with them. If you find it too complicated, use the ClearURLs support page to ask them to clean up Reddit links for you.

Report: YouTube adding individualized ID tag to links shared off-platform
ClearURLs implemented the rule to remove the si attribute on November 5th[1].
I think a better approach though is to whitelist allowed attributes rather than blacklist disallowed attributes. For example, if you get a URL starting "https://www.youtube.com/watch?" then the only allowed attributes are v, t, etc and everything else would be stripped.

ClearURLs – automatically remove tracking elements from URLs
I like this idea. I've been using a bit of Ruby wrapped into my shell to remove Facebook's tracking from links[1] but it's nice to have so many in one place that we all can contribute to.
It seems the interesting bit (for me) is in the Rules[2] repo.
