Welcome to normalize-url-plus 👋

normalize-url plus additional features to supercharge link normalization!

While normalize-url is good enough for many normalization use cases, this library is akin to prettier or black in that it ABSOLUTELY normalizes links, including features like default www-stripping and default https (both of which fall back should such links do not exist - unlike normalize-url), stripping ALL trackers (courtesy of clearURLs), following redirects (even those that can't normally be automatically redirected without manual user intervention such as youtube redirect links), and even extracting canonical URLs, all the while securing your servers from SSRF!
