Questions & answers
What does si mean in a YouTube link? +
si is a share/source identifier. Removing it normally does not stop a valid YouTube video link from working.
Does this remove timestamps? +
No. Timestamps are kept by default; you can turn that option off.
Does this track the links I paste? +
No. This tool processes the text in your browser; it makes no request to the YouTube API.
