#UntrackMe relied on Android's intent system to intercept links. Recent Android versions broke this approach, so the concept has been rethought: the app will now act as a transparent browser set as default for all links. All URLs are silently cleaned from tracking parameters. When a privacy frontend is available, the link is redirected to your preferred one. If a redirect is detected, it is blocked until validated, and the destination is opened directly, bypassing the redirect.


The rework on #UntrackMe is almost over. When set as default, it will act as a proxy and strip any tracking parameters before delegating the action to another app.
If it detects a supported front end (for YouTube, X links etc.), it will automatically redirect you to the alternative front-end of your choice.
If it detects a shortened or hidden URL (like t.co, etc.), you will be warned with full details before proceeding.

#UntrackMe will be updated soon (after 3 years of inactivity). The app redirects tracking links to privacy-friendly frontends, strips tracking parameters, and detects redirections. The update will modernize the codebase and bring compatibility with the latest Android versions.
