Useful for JSON transfer analysis. Enjoy.

I bet when Cheetahs race and one of them cheats, the other one goes "Man, you're such a Cheetah!" and they laugh & eat a zebra or whatever.

This looks useful. Thanks!

Google + YouTube add tracking information to links automatically. They usually do this by "hexifying" the URL as part of a link to their tracker. e.g., https://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscord.gog%2FSk4M3Y3.

I can use this tool to easily extract the original clean URL from the dirty tracker URL and not get tracked!

I admit that my tool is not made for automatization. If you need to process ("pipe") hex strings automatically, a Perl script might be a better choice...
