ClearURLs is a browser add-on that removes tracking elements from URLs to protect user privacy.
For example, if I go to Amazon and search for hard drives, Amazon addes a tracking element to the URL:
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=hard+drives&ref=nb_sb_noss_1
ClearURLs automatically rewrites that URL in my browser to:
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=hard+drive
Among other things, the extension:
* Removes tracking from URLs automatically in the background
* Blocks some common ad domains (optional)
* Has a built-in tool to clean up multiple URLs at once
* Supports redirection to the destination, without tracking services as middleman
* Adds an entry to the context menu so that links can be copied quickly and cleanly
* Blocks hyperlink auditing, also known as ping tracking
* Prevents tracking injection over history API
* Prevents Google from rewriting the search results (to include tracking elements)
* Prevents Yandex from rewriting the search results (to include tracking elements)
* Badges to show the currently blocked elements
* Supports optional logging * Supports export/import of settings
