Supported Platforms

PruneTheLink strips tracking from all major social media platforms.

TikTok
10 params
When you share or open a TikTok link, parameters like refer, tt_from, and sender_device tell TikTok exactly who shared the link, what device they used, and how the link was opened. This lets TikTok build a social graph of who shares content with whom.
Instagram
7 params
Instagram and Facebook share a tracking ecosystem. Parameters like igshid and fbclid are unique identifiers tied to the sharer's session, letting Meta track link sharing across both platforms and attribute content discovery back to specific users.
Facebook
6 params
Facebook's fbclid (Facebook Click ID) is appended to every outbound link and is used to track which user clicked what, even across external websites. The mibextid parameter tracks sharing within Messenger and the mobile app.
Twitter / X
5 params
Twitter/X appends parameters like s, t, and twclid to shared links. These track the share source, the tweet context, and can identify the sharing session. The ref_src parameter reveals where you found the link (timeline, search, notification).
YouTube
4 params
YouTube's si parameter is a share identifier added whenever you use the share button — it's a unique token tied to your sharing session. The feature parameter reveals how you discovered the video (search, suggested, channel page, shared).
Reddit
4 params
Reddit's share_id is a unique identifier generated each time you share a post, allowing Reddit to track exactly who shared what with whom and measure the downstream engagement from each share.
LinkedIn
2 params
LinkedIn uses lipi (LinkedIn Page Identifier) to track content sharing within its professional network. This lets LinkedIn attribute profile views and engagement back to specific share events.
Snapchat
2 params
Snapchat's sc_referrer and sc_channel parameters track how links enter and move through the Snapchat ecosystem, identifying sharing patterns between users.
Pinterest
1 params
Pinterest's pin_source parameter tracks where pins were shared from, helping Pinterest map content distribution across its platform and external shares.
