The thing is powerful but indeed requires, especially at the beginning, some attention/concentration to get things right. – for two, the “deepness” of the filtering : I’ve seen ‘CleanLinks’ block/modify queries and redirections that had never been blocked/modified by ClearURLs and SkipRedirect. – for one that it combines query parameters stripping and redirected urls management, with Default Rules, with Modified Rules (the latter are the ones from default together with ones we create), I’m still learning and I confess that I happen to copy a rule to adapt it to a new rule, but it gets in (your brains) with time as always (though slower or faster from one person to another, lol). It does require a little bit of learning. > This ‘CleanLinks’ looks interesting, but it seems to me as well that it requires a little bit of learning curve after seeing the icon menu. Removing ClearURLs and relying only on ‘Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool’ and ‘ClearURLs for uBo’ filter lists? I wasn’t sure it would de sufficient.ģ- I discovered ‘CleanLinks’ : it does what ClearURLs does (except for the HistoryState that I don’t use anyway) and it does what SkipRedirect does => I decided to give it a try and remove both ‘ClearURLs and SkipRedirect. But this feature is problematic on several sites so I had to disable it given the lack of whitelist.Ģ- ClearURLs’ query parameters list is not frequently updated, is not editable, handles no whitelist as well. Why did I switch to the latter?ġ- Because ClearURLs has a feature handling the so-called HistoryState, a process which allows qeary parameters to bypass query parameters blockers, to make it short. > I currently use ‘Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool’ on uBlock and SkipRedirectĪs you I use the ‘Legitimate URL Shortener Tool’ filier list for uBO but as well the ‘ClearURLs for uBo’ filter list : both are complementary, no redundance, different scopedĬoncerning the ‘SkipRedirect’ extension, it’s been my choice as well, together with the ‘ClearURLs’ extension. Side-note : the time spent for OS maintenance is amazing if one wishes to be up-to-date, and an increasing part of this time is due to dishonest practices which are becoming legion and not specific of ‘bad guys’ : everyone (every domain) does it, or more and more anyway : tricking, be it for wrecking, for combating the wreckers or for business, has become the norm. These lists must be updated, obvious with uBO, less obvious when integrated to an extension such as ‘CleanLinks’ or ‘ClearURLs’. Of course several lists may induce redundancy. I use both, together with the ‘CleanLinks’ extension.Ĭleaning query parameters is a list approach, not an algorithmic one : some parameters are necessary. Enjoy.ĭescription: Want to use ClearURLs’ tracking protection without installing another extension? This list is a (unofficial) version of the ClearURLs rules, designed for use in uBlock Origin and AdGuard. Essentially, it automatically removes unnecessary $/& values from the URLs, making them easier to copy from the URL bar and pasting elsewhere as links.
The ‘Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool’ list :ĭescription: In a world dominated by bit.ly, adf.ly, and several thousand other malware cover-up tools, this list reduces the length of URLs in a much more legitimate and transparent manner.
