by AcecardflipsHatsdownmix, 2 years agoTop need in future war with AI Copilots and Getliners. There is something which may render useless this addon and is called timing. If the time at which the addon interferes with the bad behaviors on web comes after the websites links, libraries and content was traded between browser user and web then is useless. Preloading and preview and AI Copilot tagging and learning, crawling techniques are today acting long before we have seen the link on screens. At some point the AI Copilots learn and guess what we want to write in search engines before we even wrote it. So ... Yes, is very useful addon, but it must act timely ahead of these issues. Perhaps if included in Firefox among a Firefox AI Copilot learning from web behavior, instead of learning from us, then is quite very top addon in the future.
I've seen the addon was implemented on Microsoft Edge browser which is exactly the one I dropped before coming to Firefox because Microsoft built a so called elligible browser for their needs to test their AI Copilot which was blocking me from seeing search results, writing, bugging me when searching for websites with Edge and ... Well not quite funny to browse the web followed by a big brother AI shadow who bugs you even now when writing this tried to bug me ... While I'm on Firefox but still under the hood of Microsoft AI. So I do not understand your cooperation with them. Maybe their AI tricked you they are fine

- Rated 4 out of 5by notleks2411, 17 days agoHonestly, it's a good extension to have, and I really appreciate the effort put into it. However, I find it breaks some sites, and I manually have to toggle the filter off which gets very annoying. I can also confirm at the time of writing, it breaks the AI search on Google.
I would consider this an essential extension to have. But be prepared for it to bork some websites which will require manual intervention. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 19119289, a month agoBreaks Google search AI mode (gives error message "Can't generate an AI overview right now.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Kazillurls, a month agoThis add-on seems to work (Firefox-ESR 140) but no longer be maintained:
- On Mozilla / Add-ons / ClearURLs
- "Last updated 2 years ago (Feb 5, 2025)"
- "Write us... If have any suggestions or complaints, please contact us on GitHub." (with link to issue list)
- On GitHub / ClearURLs / issue list
- "New issue" cannot be clicked (has no hyperlink) and its tooltip says "Issue creation is restricted in this repository". So, cannot add a new issue on GitHub … Ok, let's search more on GitHub.
- On GitHub / ClearURLs
- "If you have any suggestions or complaints, please create an issue." (with link to GitLab, not GitHub 😫)
- "[…] or email us rules.support (at) clearurls.xyz (this mail will automatically create a new issue in this repo)"
- On GitLab
- GitLab allows to create a free account, but you must give a bank account (but yeah, trust'em, it's free 😏) and a phone number. A no-solution for me.
- An e-mail sent to "rules.support (at) clearurls.xyz" gets a response "A message that you sent has not yet been delivered to one or more of its recipients after more than 72 hours". Let's try elsewhere, there must be a solution.
- On the homepage (clearurls.xyz)
- "Last update: February 5, 2025"
- No contact page linked. No site map to find where it can be.
Nope, I've run out of solutions.
So basically, good in the current state of the web (2025~6) but as more time passes, the worse this add-on will be. - Rated 1 out of 5by Azuki, a month agomade logging in via google impossible with error 400 somehow. dont use this

- Rated 3 out of 5by redgamehunter, 2 months agoHonestly, it just really, really needs a basic site whitelist option. Sometimes you don't mind the things this targets because they are actually necessary for functionality. Good example: When I go to my health insurance web portal, a different company handles the online payment. When I click to pay on web portal, it opens their website, and uses a lot of things ClearURLs auto-cleans to tell that payment site who I am without me needing to explicitly log in, and in fact doesn't have a normal log in method for said site, so I have to turn of ClearURLs... to pay online for my health insurance.
This is far from the only situation I've ran into with this. - Rated 5 out of 5by Tets6723642, 2 months ago
