It seems interesting that “Clear URLs” might clean URLs of tracking pieces on the URLs. Is that something covered by other extensions, particularly by uBlock Origin?

For LibreWolf + uBlockOrigin users might seem unnecessary, but when sharing URLs with others, who one is not aware what browsers they use, then perhaps it’s useful. What do you think?

    Great to know, the test in the referenced URL:

    Tracking query parameter tests

    Which browsers remove URL parameters that can track you?

    I was sure Librewolf was protecting me, :) Now, the question goes in the sense of “Clear URLs” for copying URLs, not from the address bar, which I guessed Librewolf would have cleared for me, but from any URL referenced in web pages. I was sure if I just opened that URL from Librewolf, I’d be safe. Now, if instead I just copy the URL from any web page, and paste it in an email, a chat, etc, would Librewolf have cleared the URL copied as well? If so, then definitely “Clear URLs wouldn’t be necessary”.

    Thanks a lot !
