Problem
Threads share links include a tracking parameter xmt, e.g.:
https://www.threads.com/@/post/<POST_ID>?xmt=&slof=1
ClearURLs currently does not remove xmt.
Expected
Remove xmt, resulting in a clean URL such as:
https://www.threads.com/@/post/<POST_ID>?slof=1
(or fully clean if slof is also considered a tracking parameter)
Steps to reproduce
- Open Threads and copy a post link using the share (paper airplane) icon.
- Observe the generated URL contains
xmt=....
- Run the URL through any tool that consumes ClearURLs rules catalog.
xmt remains and is not filtered.
Proposed rule change (data.min.json)
Add a provider for Threads and remove xmt:
"threads": {
"urlPattern": "^https?:\\/\\/(?:[a-z0-9-]+\\.)*?threads\\.(?:com|net)\\/",
"completeProvider": false,
"rules": [
"xmt"
]
}
Notes
- Removing
xmt manually does not appear to break navigation (quick test).
- If maintainers confirm
slof is tracking-only, it could be added similarly.
