Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep/issues/1546

Describe the feature you'd like

Summary

When adding a bookmark in Karakeep, pasted URLs often contain tracking parameters (e.g., utm_source, fbclid) or link to AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) versions of articles. These make bookmarks cluttered and less privacy-friendly.

Feature Request

Ensure this process is seamless and transparent for the user.

Example

Input: https://www.example.com/article?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&fbclid=XYZ

Saved as: https://www.example.com/article

Input: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.example.com/article

Saved as: https://www.example.com/article

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

Benefits

Produces clean, readable, and privacy-respecting bookmarks.

Ensures links point to the original content, not temporary AMP versions.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

No.

These make bookmarks cluttered and less privacy-friendly. ## Feature Request * Automatically strip common tracking query parameters (such as utm_*, fbclid, gclid, etc.) from URLs when pasted. * Detect AMP URLs (e.g., https://www.google.com/amp/s/example.com/article) and convert them to the canonical/original page URL (e.g., https://example.com/article). Ensure this process is seamless and transparent for the user. ### Example **Input:** https://www.example.com/article?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&fbclid=XYZ **Saved as:** https://www.example.com/article **Input:** https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.example.com/article **Saved as:** https://www.example.com/article ### Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users ## Benefits Produces clean, readable, and privacy-respecting bookmarks.

Any word on having non-AMP pages though?
