Mydealz.de URL Cleaner #358

Open farOverNinethousand opened 5 months ago

farOverNinethousand commented 5 months ago

German deal portal mydealz.de is using special links in their app which when used on desktop and/or devices without their app will do multiple redirects until the final destination is reached. Afaik this also means that non-app-users cannot use the URLs shared from MyDealz app users. However there is a trick to avoid this.

Example of the "bad" URL: https://www.mydealz.de/share-deal-from-app/2117879 Example of a "good" URL: https://www.mydealz.de/deals/xbox-series-x-ca-360eur-durch-guthaben-50eur-psn-ca-33eur-uvm-visa-kreditkarte-erforderlich-wechselkurs-ars-zu-eur-2117879

How to change the bad URL to a "good" one: https://mydealz.de/diskussion/a-2117879 Alternative: https://www.mydealz.de/deals/a-2117879 Those links will directly redirect to the final destination without the advertisement/tracking-redirects.

The letter a in the examples can be replaced by any random string. EDIT

They also got other portals so the following domains should maybe also be included:

Addendum: Besides those trackingURLs, their "normal" URLs can now also contain tracking parameters. Example: https://www.mydealz.de/diskussion/gratis-adidas-fussball-trikot-2383743?pprmrkntfctnsrd=123456789&UATypeId=18
