2024-07-25	AcecardflipsHatsdownmix	Top need in future war with AI Copilots and Getliners. There is something which may render useless this addon and is called timing. If the time at which the addon interferes with the bad behaviors on web comes after the websites links, libraries and content was traded between browser user and web then is useless. Preloading and preview and AI Copilot tagging and learning, crawling techniques are today acting long before we have seen the link on screens. At some point the AI Copilots learn and guess what we want to write in search engines before we even wrote it. So ... Yes, is very useful addon, but it must act timely ahead of these issues. Perhaps if included in Firefox among a Firefox AI Copilot learning from web behavior, instead of learning from us, then is quite very top addon in the future. I've seen the addon was implemented on Microsoft Edge browser which is exactly the one I dropped before coming to Firefox because Microsoft built a so called elligible browser for their needs to test their AI Copilot which was blocking me from seeing search results, writing, bugging me when searching for websites with Edge and ... Well not quite funny to browse the web followed by a big brother AI shadow who bugs you even now when writing this tried to bug me ... While I'm on Firefox but still under the hood of Microsoft AI. So I do not understand your cooperation with them. Maybe their AI tricked you they are fine

2024-07-24	robsku	Still to be tested, but this is enough of 5 stars, if it works as should, and has the rest features: 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=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&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 I mean, without TinyURL services, the URL is a fraction of original, human readable, and all unnecessary tracking via URL: POOF! ❤️💜💙🩵💚💛🧡❤️
2024-07-23	Firefox user 18519905	CleanURLs est un excellent module complémentaire pour Firefox, offrant une expérience de navigation simplifiée en supprimant les paramètres de suivi des URL. L'effort de l'équipe est évident, fournissant un outil améliorant considérablement la confidentialité. Cependant, cela empêche parfois le chargement correct des sites, ce qui peut être frustrant. Une méthode plus conviviale et plus efficace pour mettre les URL sur liste blanche améliorerait considérablement sa fonctionnalité et sa convivialité. Dans l’ensemble, excellent travail de l’équipe sur ce précieux outil !

2024-07-21	Philipp	Nette Idee, macht aber leider einige Webseiten kaputt, zum Beispiel Amazon Prime Video. Es ist teilweise gar nicht so leicht, das Problem zu finden, bis man darauf kommt, das Add-On zu deaktivieren. Leider kann man keine Exceptions setzen, oder ich habe nicht herausgefunden wie. Da bleibt nur, das Add-On zu löschen.

2024-07-20	Firefox user 16549478	Sicherlich ein sehr nützliches Addon, leider war ich durch die nutzung dies Addons nicht mehr in der Lage bestimmte Seiten wie z.B. Prime Video zu nutzen. Es kam / kommt immer eine fehler meldung. Es ist schade, da ich die Notwendigkeit solcher Erweiterung klar sehe.
