When i look at the log i mostly see e-tag header was removed. I think that is a good thing since i have read that you can be tracked with e-tags. I am not tech savy but i feel sure this extension boost privacy

Thanks for your positive feedback. E-Tag can be used to track you, if you're interested in this you can read the study 'Ayenson, Mika D., et al. "Flash cookies and privacy II: Now with HTML5 and ETag respawning. (2011).' (https://ptolemy.berkeley.edu/projects/truststc/education/reu/11/Posters/AyensonMWambachDpaper.pdf)

Thank you so much! I didn't realize how even the URLs of a website can be used to track me.

Best URL privacy cleaner by a long shot, this is the best one, and worst nightmare for the 1 star reviewers.

Would be also useful for shortened URLs for Bitly links and tiny URLs would change to tiny url previews as well.

Thanks for your positive feedback. Unfortunately, it is not possible to unshorten shortened URLs without a server as intermediary. Therefore we have decided against this feature. Further discussions about this can be found in this ticket: https://gitlab.com/KevinRoebert/ClearUrls/-/issues/467#note_327479440

It seems like every 5 minutes when I open a link, it hangs on me. When opening new tab, I get a yellow banner message which says, " A web page is slowing down your browser. What would you like to do? *Stop It?* or *Wait* buttons. *Stop It* always fixes the problem temporarily but disabling ClearURLs permanently fixes it and I can load new web pages again.
