Remove garbage from URLs.

Neat URL is a Firefox add-on designed for cleaning up web addresses by removing unwanted parameters such as Google Analytics’ UTM parameters. With Neat URL, you can effortlessly transform messy URLs into clean, concise links by adding custom rules tailored to your needs.

This add-on supports both global parameter rules (e.g., utm_source) and specific domain rules (e.g., ved@domain.com). Users can easily configure which parameters to remove, ensuring a smoother browsing experience. Significant improvements over the original Lean URL include the ability to set your own URL parameters, fixed issues for recent Firefox versions, and the option to customize animations in the toolbar. For any bug reports or feature requests, users can head to their GitHub page for assistance.
