Someone wrote below: "It has a box to batch clean a collection of dirty links, context menu to copy clean link."

I cannot find this option (or an option to see a list of dirty links at all) maybe because I do not have an entry for ClearURLs in the context menu, any possible reason for this ? Sometimes (but rarely) I have problems with GUI of addons because of my desktop resolution (my eyes are not the youngest anymore), the last thing I see at the bottom of the GUI is "Rule status up to date" (in German here), is this right ? Wondering why I do not have an entry in the context menu...

Edit: I just looked at pictures of the GUI at gitlab and there seems to be a section "Log" under "Rules" at the bottom indeed (which I cannot see) so my assumption was quite right (GUI just "too big" on my desktop), reduces the functionality of the addon unfortunately of course but no solution for this probably. But does this explain the missing entry in the context menu, too ?

Okay, I found the icon for cleaning links by adding them manually in a new window, is it possible to see a list of links blocked or cleaned by ClearURLs in the statistics or elsewhere on the other hand ?

Edit/reply to you answer: I cannot see the log button because of my desktop resolution but this is not very important.

Any idea why I do not get an entry in the context menu ? But I can live without this, too, addon seems to be very good anyway

Excellent addon for those who value privacy. It has a box to batch clean a collection of dirty links, context menu to copy clean link. It would be the best if it offers custom rules in future. You can always report it to the developer. He responds timely and efficiently.

Does it work with google chat links?

Thank you, Kevin. Excellent companion for my Firefox.

Excellent extension with very responsive support!

Very useful.

this addon breaks the drop down on google search pages for me

I use Firefox Nightly 62 64 bit on my Windows 10 April 2018 laptop. And I can't get CleanUrl 1.2.2.8 to work in privacy browsing. The icon shows up but... in the drop down menu I try to flip a switch on it flips but as soon as I... close the drop down menu the switch flips off and it does this every time, Also all the text below the name and version does not show up at all. And the Oops something went wrong button! shows up And this only happens when I'm in privacy browsing in non privacy browsing CleanUrl 1.2.2.8 works just fine. Thank you

I like the addon. It looks good, it does what it should. What more do you want?

Kevin, I have run into another issue with ClearURLs. It seems to block the map on the left side of the property search result on zillow.com. This occurs when looking at a saved map search or a new map search. Could you please check this?

Maybe you could consider a way to allow the user to whitelist certain sites when issues like this crop up.

ClearURLs 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!

great 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.

Please 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!

This 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

Thanks, 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?
