  You shouldn’t need a site. If you look closely at the original link you posted, it’s usually demarked by either a & symbol or a ? symbol, both the symbols and all text that comes after them are extraneous data.

  For example, a youtube link where you put a timestamp so it always starts at a specific time would be youtu.be/aeyLZHaGj3s&t=30s

  In this example, I appended “&t=30s” to the end of the link, which starts me at that time stamp.

  So what you need to look out for are special characters, anything after those tend to be tracking data. (Not always, but mostly)

  So find a special character, and remove that character and everything that comes after it and you’ll have a clean link.

  I think if you get the video from Duck Duck Go, you can copy the link without the tracker. Plus, I think Firefox gives you option to “copy link without site tracking” from most search results
