Review of 'Clear URLs' extension that erases unnecessary parameters that come with URLs
When you click on a search result or a link on SNS, various parameters may be attached to the end of the original URL. It's given to get information about what kind of link you clicked on, and it works without it. It's not a 'problem', but the extension 'ClearURLs ' is useful for those who 'want to erase anything that can be erased to protect privacy'.
ClearURLs
'Clear URLs' are available for Chrome, Firefox and Edge.

This time I will install it on Chrome. First, open the 'Clear URLs' page of the Chrome Web Store in Chrome and click 'Add to Chrome'.
The dialog 'Do you want to add' ClearURLs '?' Is displayed. Click 'Add extension'.
Installation is complete when a dialog like this is displayed. No detailed settings are required to use it.
Let's check if the parameter actually disappears. For example, without the extension, click on the hashtag '#Jujutsu Kaisen' in the tweet below.

The ban on visuals drawn by the original author #Gege Akutami is also lifted at the same time!

Then, a tweet with the hashtag '#Jujutsu Kaisen' will be displayed. At this time, the character string 'src = hashtag_click' that shows that the hashtag was clicked and moved is attached to the URL.
If you enter 'Clear URLs', this string will disappear.
You can see that 'src = hashtag_click' is not given when you click the URL to move it, but it is included before the click.
If you right-click a link with 'Clear URLs' in it, there is a menu called 'Copy clean link', so you can use it to get a link without unnecessary parameters.
The source code of 'Clear URLs' is available on GitHub.
GitHub --ClearURLs / Addon: ClearURLs is an add-on based on the new WebExtensions technology and will automatically remove tracking elements from URLs to help protect your privacy.
