- Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele Uživatel Firefoxu - 11640498, před 7 letyClearURLs is a must!
Why this and not other similar add-on?
Most of the other adds-on have around 13 rules to remove garbage fields. But ClearURLs has 65 rules to remove garbage fields and much of them are regex-rules (so the rule does not only block one field, it blocks all fields with the same structure). Also, ClearURLs is a open source.
If you are a kind of average user looking to improve privacy without loosing a decade studying a PhD in tech details... ClearURLs is the most complete ready-to-use plug-and-play alternative.
I would like to suggest future requests to the author:
1) To test the system performance impact of the 65 rules. I don't have know-how to distinguish if the 65 rules are indispensable. If "yes", then keep all and add more rules! But if some of them are exceptional and affects system resources/performance, then it could be interesting to prioritize system performance.
2) To evolve ClearURLs in an all-in-one add-on for URLs nasty issues ("clearing", "redirecting", "skipping" etc).
I perfectly understand the author' point of view, in the sense that some requests demand tons of work, not just for build the add-on, but also for keep it updated, supported etc. But from the user' point of view, less adds-on, less system resources, better performance etc... is always more than welcome and most desirable.
I will be more than happy to help donating for this kind of all-in-one add-on.
Congrats and thank you to the author!Odpověď vývojáře
zveřejněno před 7 letyThanks for your positive feedback, I am glad to hear that you like and hype the addon. - Hodnocení: 4 z 5od uživatele Uživatel Firefoxu - 6349131, před 7 letygreat addon, works as intented but my only issue is it messes up with google's localization. normally when you go to google.com; it redirects you to your country's local google page and if you still want to use google.com you click "use google.com instead" on bottom right corner and go to google.com but this does not work with this add on. it stays stuck in local google. hope this gets fixed. otherwise great addon.

zveřejněno před 7 letyThank you for your positive feedback. We will check this issue.
Edit: I finally found the cause for the bug. I am so sorry that it took so long. Please visit our issue page for more information (https://gitlab.com/KevinRoebert/ClearUrls/issues/99) - Hodnocení: 3 z 5od uživatele Wok, před 8 letyPlease keep the addon focused on what its name suggests: clearing URL.
If I want to block doubleclick, I can use another addon. Keep it simple and focused!Odpověď vývojáře

Since the first version of this add-on, we also block tracking domains like doubleclick.net. Rules for these sites are not rational, because the entire page is a tracking "field".
This is the reason why we do not and will never delete complete domain blocking for tracking domains like doubleclick.net.
We also describe this feature since the first version in the description of the add-on, so every knows, what the add-on does. - Hodnocení: 3 z 5od uživatele Uživatel Firefoxu - 11872172, před 8 letyThis one seems to have the greatest coverage though I am concerned of the performance penalty to use so much regex as opposed to a hardcoded list of url parameters- esp. on Android

zveřejněno před 8 letyThank you for your positive feedback.
Edit: Since your review, I have made many performance optimizations on ClearURLs, especially for Android.
Can you reassess how ClearURLs is now behaving on your device? - Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele Uživatel Firefoxu - 13262486, před 8 letyThanks, great addon hope it is kept updated to keep with growing number of nasty tracking URLs on the web! GUI is also really nice compared to other webextension addons I have seen. By the way, can you say what the
"Monitor extension usage and manage themes" permission is for?Odpověď vývojáře
zveřejněno před 8 letyThank you for your positive feedback. We use the permissions for the statistic in the addon settings. Only you can view your own statistic. The statistic is always offline on your pc.
Edit: You can also view and check our source code on https://github.com/KevinRoebert/ClearUrls, the addon is open-source. - Hodnocení: 5 z 5od uživatele HardKoreG, před 8 letyGreat add-on. Could you add an option to remove the numbers that show up on the toolbar icon?
Odpověď vývojáře
zveřejněno před 8 letyThank you for your positive feedback. We will add this option to the next version.
Edit: We've add this option into the new version 1.1.1.4. After the review by mozilla, the new version is available. Please have patience a few more days.
