— Uporabnik Firefoxa 11640498, pred 8 letiClearURLs 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!

- Ocenjeno z 2 od 5— Uporabnik Firefoxa 14520466, pred 2 mesecemaCan't believe this is a recommended add-in. Causes major malfunctions on amazon.de: 1) Prevents seeing reviews when selecting 'more reviews' and then navigating to the second page, or using filters by star rating. 2) prevents opening of popups to add notes on items in a wish list.
This has been going on for a while and i had no idea what was causing amazon to malfunction, did some time-consuming testing disabling addons one by one, and there is no doubt it was this one to cause troubles. - Ocenjeno z 3 od 5— Leviii, pred 2 mesecemaGood addon but isn't updated frequently so bugs go without being addressed.

- Ocenjeno z 4 od 5— Uporabnik Firefoxa 12215118, pred 2 mesecemaHat für mich ohne spezielle Konfiguration gut funktioniert, nur der Preiswecker-Link von Idealo funktioniert aktuell (2025-11-11) mit ClearURLs nicht (Firefox zeigt einen Json-Fehler statt der Seite). Daher habe ich ClearURLs erst mal deaktiviert.

For that you need the tiny addon called "Youtube clean share" aswell, that tiny little addon together with this is the essentials that give you a complete package for safe private sharing of links if you for example use VPN and desire privacy when you share links like youtube videos that sneak in embedded tracking code.

HOWEVER there is a MAJOR FLAW and it's that if enabled it completely BREAKS the search results from (Google IA) on Google.com so I must completely disable the addon since there is no "Exeption List" which is very dumb!
