I recently found out about URLCheck. You set it as default browser and it gives you a popup when clicking on a link. You can preview, edit the link and open it with the app you want instead of automatically opening it in its default app. Especially useful for apps that don't give a link preview on text like my comment that hide the link address.

LinkSheet is another great option for this purpose. It emulates the previous Android app-picker UI. It supports filtering URL tracking parameters, redirecting to Invidious and other privacy-respecting alternatives. Very handy.

Thank your so much! I've been looking for something like the clearurl extension for so long, especially for links within emails
