Reviews on the Chrome Web Store mention that the extension can break Google OAuth login flow and Amazon checkout. Did you encounter that at all?

  For what it's worth I use the FF version and I've never had this problem as far as I can tell.

    I also use the FF version and have not encountered this problem (to my knowledge).

  I used to use this and it did indeed break Amazon checkout. Took me forever to figure out!

  Not OP, and YMMV, but i never had problems with google, amazon or any other website. ClearURLs is one of those extensions you install, after you open your browser for the first time and completely forget about it, because it just works (TM). As a matter of fact, I had to make sure that it was even installed, before commenting.

  It does break youtrack quite severely and it took me forever to single out this extension. Afaict there's also no way to filter URLs so I had to get rid of it on my work browser :/

  I don't use Google OAuth much but it works for when I need to enter YTTV credentials. It has never broken Amazon checkout for me, smells like FUD.

uBlock Origin works well enough for me with some basic lists. Recommended reading for firefox users: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions#-dont-bother https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions#-don...

  What lists are you using for queryparams?

    In the default lists, under privacy, just subscribe to "AdGuard URL Tracking Protection" and it'll do the same thing for you

  Is this optional? With ClearURLs, I can choose to copy the clear URL or the original URL. Sometimes we want the original URL in case the ruleset makes a mistake, debugging, or something else.

Just be careful with this kind of plugin. Had something similar installed a few years ago that was breaking some Google links and I had no idea why until I realized I had this kind of plugin installed.

Is there anything similar that would strip URLs from copied images? When you Copy Image... in Firefox, the URL is also copied to clipboard and then pasted around, see https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/wil262/any_way_to_stop_firefox_from_leaking_image_url_on/ https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/wil262/any_way_to_... )
