In theory a great extension, but it has a lot of open bugs, that make many websites pretty much unusable.
One example that I was affected is Github: github[.]com/ClearURLs/Addon/issues/410
It took me a while to figure out that ClearURLs was the root cause for my issues.

Very nice addion but why mobile version have latest 1.27 but desktop have old 1.26 ?

A seriously broken release took weeks to roll back. Other reviews have mentioned various impacts of this. One that affected me, but no one else has mentioned, is that Google started requiring captchas for me from every search, due to "unusual activity from your computer network". That was very burdensome and time-consuming for me.

Sorry, I'm uninstalling as I don't want to take the risk of this happening again.

Thanks for the fix (:

Great & original idea, thank you for you hard work👍🏻 It would be helpful to enable exemptions like with e.g. uBlock as it inhibits some shopping sites!

Very good extension and works well. makes URLs shorter, which is good for sharing the URL, and makes it have less tracking elements. A lot of the problems with flickering URLs has also been fixed which is great to see.

It does the job, but for the last few weeks there were some problems I noticed. When I was searching in DuckDuckGo, the URL was flickering for some reason (the lines after "&" was appearing and disappearing). But it didn't affect my experience so it was fine. However I also had trouble logging in to Crunchyroll and was getting Error 500. At the time I didn't know what was causing the error, but when I temporarily turned off this extension I was able to login again.

Hopefully this gets fixed soon 🙏

After days of flickering URLs driving me crazy, I finally spent an hour or so disabling and testing a simple ddg.co search for the flickering issue.

The flicking URL is caused by ClearURLs!

Too bad but it drives me nuts and no matter the positive features of the add-on, it has to go.

Thanks to the dev for the pre-flickering usefulness and best of luck debugging the problem.

Awful! I uninstalled it. At first, there was just a flicker in the URL. The developer was informed and promised an update, but I installed the latest version (1.27.1) dated January 15, 2025, and it's worse than before, it doesn't work at all. Web pages slow down considerably, to the point of freezing my computer and having to restart it.

It has been breaking practically all major websites for months, including Microsoft, YouTube, Instagram, and Google Search.

For example, on YouTube, when I search for "Test Video", the params in the URL should look like this: "results?search_query=Test+Video&sp=CAI%253D," but the addon removes the "&sp" param, destroying my filter, and the URL is like flickering because it removes and adds the + multiple times until the URL is so broken that the website freezes or is lagging when scrolling. When clicking on a video, the URL gets completely destroyed and gets a mix-up of the search and video URLs, or sometimes it just doesn't show the video URL and removes all params and just shows the base URL.

In this state, the addon is not usable.

Has started breaking many websites. Voice.google.com for example; other reviews mention a bunch more.

Currently breaks many different sites. Twitter Searches with spaces in the query, and google images for example.

No me permitía usar mi cuenta de google al entrar en paginas web.

Hello Kevin, thank you for all of your hard work. This addon is very good but somehow it started to break Microsoft link that redirects me to my work account login. Can you please fix that? Thank you!

Used it for awhile, but recently it started breaking all sites, due tinkering with the url removing important parts.

Had to deactivate it because of some legit search forms not filling in real-time, and because of issues with the 'sign-in with a google account' feature of many websites

It somehow breaks google translate, causing it to change it's url like 10 times/second, taking all of the traffic and making it impossible to load any other page.

It is a good add-on for but something gone wrong lately. Currently this add-on breaks some websites like duckduckgo or login with google

I think I can see what it's trying to do, though it breaks signing in with accounts like Google (oauth)
