If you're on Android, this is a fantastic app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trianguloy.urlchecker

You set it as the default browser and it handles any link you click on that would normally open your browser directly with an intermediary step that strips tracking info, marketing campaign fluff, etc. Can also unshorten links or scan with Virus Total before you send yourself somewhere dodgy.

Can also choose another app to open the link in, so if it's something a bit questionable you may prefer a super strict privacy browser instead of plain Firefox / Chrome / whatever too.
