Neat URL cleans URLs, removing parameters such as Google Analytics' utm parameters.

Example Before: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ioquake3-Auto-Updater&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Phoronix+(Phoronix)

Custom rules can be added using the global format or the domain specific format (parameter@domain). A domain specific parameter would be, for example, [email protected].

Parameter rules A parameter is something that starts with ?. You can add your own parameter in the options of Neat URL. The ? is ommitted in the options, so a ?ved parameter becomes "ved". There are a few exceptions to this rule (see below)

Parameters can be global (for every domain):
