Haven't seen a lot of talk about URLCheck.

It can clear useless URL parameters, unshorten shortened links, scan links with VirusTotal (API key required) or redirect you to privacy friendly websites like Nitter or Libreddit.

If you are interested checking it out, check out my guide I made on it too!

PS. I'm not affiliated with the dev/app in any way. Just wanted to share this useful app that no one has been talking about.

Theres also something called URL cleaner. It just literally cleans the URL AFAIK (no virus total or anything). Ita available on f-droid and presumably the play store.
