Have you ever went to share a URL and found it was hundreds of characters long, full of tracking and analytics information?

Web sites that use multiple URLs for the same content are "encouraged" by Google PageRank algorithms to have a specific "canonical" URL that is the primary URL for the page. Since this URL can't be personalized to the user, it isn't full of analytics data or unnecessary session state.

CanonicalCopy is an extension for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and compatible browsers that allows you to copy this URL instead of the URL you're actively on full of useless session and tracking data.

When copying the URL, just click the CanonicalCopy icon instead of selecting the URL in the address bar. A popup will appear with the canonical URL that you can copy with the copy button or Ctrl+C. It's that easy!

CanonicalCopy is available on the Chrome Web Store. Find it here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/canonicalcopy/njjdfcofcbmmghmnhfjfmndhhdglclam

Download the XPI file for the extension and open the file in Firefox. No third party addon site needed!
