| 2025-01-21 | Firefox user 18792661 | | Installed to replace all of Google's "www.google. com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=########&url=UWU&ved=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&usg=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" with "UWU" (to allow to copy links without having to first open them and wait for them to load), but ClearUrls does not do. Thought that was all that ClearUrls was supposed to do, but since it does not, have no clue what ClearUrls does do. |

| 2025-01-18 | Tio | | On desktop at least(didn't try it on mobile) I found a bug that doesn't let me open images on Google images most of the time, and when it does let me, it does't let me close them. |
| 2025-01-17 | aniline | | Something is broken in the latest update that makes the url bar glitch out and flicker causing massive CPU usage. It's related to doing multiple consecutive searches in a row using the page's form element, such as the youtube or google search boxes. Then the url bar will flicker between search term A and search term B. |
| 2025-01-17 | yukikazebr | | The january 17 update broke it, at least not working with Google Images. |

| 2025-01-17 | Silencer | | It has worked great,but lately as someone else has mentioned it causes my computer and the CPU to go crazy, several websites are affected, DuckDuckGo, Google, YouTube, Soundcloud and more. I spent days now trying to troubleshoot what was causing it (I have many extensions) and the moment I disabled this one, the cpu fans slowed down and my system is back to normal. Responsive and snappy. |
| 2025-01-16 | milg | | Recently(?) started replacing + or %20 in URLs with regular spaces, which caused things like YouTube to freak out whenever I tried clicking on a video I searched for; as the URL would rapidly switch between the video URL and the search page URL. I also noticed a very high amount of CPU usage while this was all happening. I'm using Floorp (a Firefox fork) and I have a few other add-ons enabled, so I don't wanna immediately push all the blame on it; however, disabling the add-on made all of these problems disappear. |
