Link Cleaner - Effective URL Cleaning Firefox Add-On

Link Cleaner is a handy Firefox add-on designed to streamline your browsing by efficiently cleaning URLs you intend to visit. It effectively removes redundant parameters such as utm_* and skips redirect pages on popular platforms like Facebook, Steam, and Reddit. Moreover, it specifically cleans tracking parameters on item pages of Aliexpress and Amazon URLs. Unlike other comparable addons, Link Cleaner does not modify links using JavaScript injections; it listens to main URL requests and alters them to eliminate redirects and tracking, ensuring a more transparent and efficient browsing experience.
