URL check has been a game changer for me on mobile. Any link you click, it will tell you what's going on with it (if there are trackers and what not) and will remove them before sending it to the browser, and it's been better at redirecting links to apps (IE all YouTube links open with new pipe or random media goes to VLC.)

You just set URLCheck and your default browser, and you're good to go. It did take a bit to get used to, but I like the flow much better now.

Derp. It's not an MIT license. He wants credit, but that's fine.

Thanks for the share. My only issue with it is that now another actor, other than the browser and all the trackers, knows about my browsing habits, or at least as I understood it.

As far as I'm aware, that's not happening. When I check it out with ClassyShark, it doesn't seem to be receiving or transmitting any data, so I think everything is happening on the device.

If I'm wrong though, I would like to be corrected.

That is cool, I'll check it out. Thank you
