ClearURLs is a browser extension built on WebExtensions technology that automatically removes tracking parameters (like utm_source) from URLs as you browse. It supports Firefox and Chromium-based browsers and uses a regularly updated rule set to strip tracking elements.
Use cases
- remove utm tracking parameters from urls
- clean amazon product links automatically
- block hyperlink auditing and ping tracking
- prevent etag tracking in the browser
- copy links without tracking codes via context menu
- redirect through tracking services directly to destination
When to choose
- you want automatic background removal of URL tracking parameters
- you use Firefox or a Chrome-based browser and want a privacy add-on
- you need a bulk URL cleaning tool
- you want to block ping tracking and ETag tracking
When to avoid
- you need a full ad blocker rather than URL cleaning
- you want tracking protection outside the browser
- you need a VPN or network-level privacy solution
