Cleans tracking from URLs and suggests privacy-friendly frontends.
Monthly active users
Link Chan is a Telegram bot focused on link hygiene and privacy-aware browsing. It processes URLs from popular platforms and returns cleaner versions without tracking parameters, while also suggesting privacy-respecting alternative frontends where possible.
Users send a link from services like Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Reddit, or Medium. The bot parses the URL, strips unnecessary tracking and marketing query parameters, and replies with a simplified, cleaner link.
In addition, Link Chan can recommend alternative frontends that aim to reduce data collection and client-side tracking. This allows users to access the same content via interfaces that are typically lighter and more privacy-friendly.
The bot is useful for people who frequently share links in chats or channels and want to avoid exposing extra tracking data. It also helps maintain cleaner message formatting, since URLs become shorter and easier to read.
