Permissions Copyright README.md Buy Me A Coffee Buy Me A Coffee Buy Me A Coffee for Firefox for Edge for Chrome [[68747470]] ClearURLs Gitter ClearURLs is an add-on based on the new WebExtensions technology and is optimized for Firefox and Chrome based browsers. This extension will automatically remove tracking elements from URLs to help protect your privacy when browse through the Internet, which is regularly updated by us and can be found here. Application Many websites use tracking elements in the URL (e.g. https:// example.com?utm_source=newsletter1&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign= sale) to mark your online activity. All that tracking code is not necessary for a website to be displayed or work correctly and can therefore be removed--that is exactly what ClearURLs does. Another common example are Amazon URLs. If you search for a product on Amazon you will see a very long URL, such as: https://www.amazon.com/dp/exampleProduct/ref=sxin_0_pb?__mk_de_DE=AMAZON&keywords=tea&pd_rd_i=exampleProduct&pd_rd_r=8d39e4cd-1e4f-43db-b6e7-72e969a84aa5&pd_rd_w=1pcKM&pd_rd_wg=hYrNl&pf_rd_p=50bbfd25-5ef7-41a2-68d6-74d854b30e30&pf_rd_r=0GMWD0YYKA7XFGX55ADP&qid=1517757263&rnid=2914120011 Indeed most of the above URL is tracking code. Once ClearURLs has cleaned the address, it will look like this: https://www.amazon.com/ dp/exampleProduct Features * Removes tracking from URLs automatically in the background * Blocks some common ad domains (optional) * Has a built-in tool to clean up multiple URLs at once * Supports redirection to the destination, without tracking services as middleman * Adds an entry to the context menu so that links can be copied quickly and cleanly * Blocks hyperlink auditing, also known as ping tracking (see also this article) * Prevents ETag tracking * Prevents tracking injection over history API (see also: The replaceState() method) * Prevents Google from rewriting the search results (to include tracking elements) * Prevents Yandex from rewriting the search results (to include tracking elements) Permissons Reasoning for needed permissions can be found under here.

Translate ClearURLs You want to help translating ClearURLs into many languages? - Nice You can choose between two options to contribute. You can create a merge request, or you can use the POEditor to translate ClearURLs. Hint: The description field in the translation files are only an information for what the translation is used. It is not necessary to translate the description field; in the most cases it is empty. Merge request If you want to create a merge request, you must open the path _locales/en/messages.json in the ClearURLs repo and translate the english terms into terms of your language. Once you have translated all the terms, you make a pull request of your translation. Please push your translation into the folder _locales/{language code}/ messages.json.
