by Firefox user 12765006, 7 years agoNeat URL cleans URL's up well.
Good replacement for Pure URL.
It does not clean up URLs in a webpage when loading that webpage. The Pure URL addon or Clean Links addon did that.
Would like Neat URL to fix URL's within webpages when loading them. Plz add this feature.
The developers seem to be making Neat URL into a replacement for Pure URL. The mentions of feature parity in the changelogs are greatly appreciated. From what version onwards is the Neat URL at full feature parity?
I find myself searching for a good URL clean-up addon.
Neat URL is good but lacks dealing with redirects (including nested ones) and retrieving long URLs from shortened URLs.
I would like to consolidate URL clean-up in one addon. I would like to see URL cleaners take a more feature-rich direction.
Now I have to install Neat URL, Skip Redirect and Long URL Please Mod.
I also stumbled into two problems.
Adding a new rule to the bottom on a new line caused the addon to not use the line.
Using $.html@phys.org $html@phys.org or $.html@phys.* or $html@phys.* caused the extension to remove the html part from the link. Plz Fix.

* Neat URL is good but lacks dealing with redirects (including nested ones) and retrieving long URLs from shortened URLs.
That's why there exist other addons that do exactly that. I believe Neat URL should do one thing well, which is "cleaning URLs". Skipping redirects or retrieving long URLs from short ones will not be in the feature scope of Neat URL.
* Adding a new rule to the bottom on a new line caused the addon to not use the line.
I don't consider this to be a high priority issue. Might be improved in a later version.
* Using $.html@phys.org $html@phys.org or $.html@phys.* or $html@phys.* caused the extension to remove the html part from the link. Plz Fix.
Sorry, this is expected behaviour and working as intended. $ removes everything that comes after it when used as a Neat URL parameter.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13202285, 3 years agoCame over from Clear URLs since it broke payment portals from time-to-time. Neat URL seems to strike a nice balance between maintaining privacy and not interfering with the browsing experience. Thanks to the developer!

Looking forward to v6 :) - Rated 5 out of 5by agreement, 4 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 5509918, 4 years agoХорошее расширение. Было бы удобно иметь возможность редактировать список дефолтных правил прямо в его окне вместо того, чтобы добавлять исключения. Ещё было бы хорошо добавлять сразу несколько параметров для одного домена, типа [param1, param2, param3]@domain.com
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 5612562, 4 years agoMoved away from CleanLinks because it would break too many sites with the embedded url feature. I do wish Neat URL had regex support and a UI to easily add more blocks and to troubleshoot/see what has been blocked, but it works great either way. I'm attaching my custom blocking rules that include stuff I've exported from CleanLinks- https://pastebin.com/Hgae9Ans

- Rated 4 out of 5by peacefulpotato, 4 years agoI used ClearURLs for a while until I learned that it made constant requests to Cloudflare. This one is almost perfect but it doesn't seem to work on AMO. Probably a browser restriction, though.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Barraguesh, 4 years agoClearURLs refugee here. As another comment said, ClearURLs breaks some websites like Decathlon (from time to time) plus this one is lighter so it's a win win.
