Thanks for your positive feedback. I've updated the rule file. Now your facebook urls will be cleaned. There are existing a chrome version of this addon, but not officially on the chrome webstore. Please read on this article why: https://gitlab.com/KevinRoebert/ClearUrls/issues/86

The chrome version is available here for manually installation: https://gitlab.com/KevinRoebert/ClearUrls/tags?utf8=%E2%9C%93&search=_cv

    Разработчики приложения вносят значительный вклад в закладывание за щеку корпорастам.

    Honestly, 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.

    Breaks Google search AI mode (gives error message "Can't generate an AI overview right now. Try again later.")

    This 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.

    Honestly, 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.
