⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ClearURLs – Clean Up Tracking Junk from Your Links

ClearURLs is a must-have Firefox extension for anyone who values privacy and a cleaner browsing experience. It automatically strips tracking parameters from URLs, preventing companies from following you across the web. This makes your links shorter, neater, and more private.

Pros:
✅ Automatic URL cleaning: Removes tracking parameters in real time, keeping your links tidy and private.
✅ Boosts privacy: Prevents companies from tracking your clicks and browsing behavior.
✅ Lightweight and efficient: Doesn’t slow down Firefox or consume unnecessary resources.
✅ Open-source and transparent: Developed with privacy in mind, free from shady practices.
✅ Customizable rules: Allows you to add custom rules for specific sites.

Cons:
❌ May break some referral links: Occasionally, it can prevent certain affiliate or referral links from working properly, but you can easily whitelist trusted sites.
❌ Minimal user interface: While functional, the UI is pretty barebones—though that’s part of its simplicity.

💡 Overall, ClearURLs is a fantastic Firefox extension for anyone serious about privacy and reducing online tracking. It works silently in the background, keeping your links clean and your data safer. Highly recommended!

Karass

VERY good extension. But as of recently when I try to access the logs in ClearURLs it gives me this message: “The page at ClearURLs says:
DataTables warning: table id=logTable - i18n file loading error. For more information about this error, please see datatables net/tn/21” I left https out of net/tn/21 since mozilla doesnt allow URLs in reviews. I am not sure what to do. Also, on both the desktop and mobile versions of this extension, changing the color for the theme in ClearURL settings never actually changes it, but rather just keeps resetting back to orange no matter the selection.

This add-on stopped working for me, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and now it works.

Gets rid of tracking elements improving your privacy

Used to break functionalities in Google Sheets and other Google Drive products, but the developer heard us and fixed it with the latest release (1.27.3)!

It's great until it's not. In my case a [var]=/[value] becomes [var]=%2F[value] and broke the website. Please consider, for the least, adding a whitelist function.

does nothing!

Good for Amazon, but really buggy for other stuff. Glitchy when I tried to search stuff up (flickering urls literally every time), removed ability to implement certain features when I was trying to use Google Sheets. Finally figured out this was the issue. More trouble than it's worth.

This extension breaks the functionality of Google Search's "AI Overview"
If there are any workarounds or any possible blacklist/whitelist feature, please let me know, as this caused a lot of frustration.
This is an excellent extension, but I have to leave it at a 1/5, for now.
