Description
Remove garbage from URLs. Neat URL removes tracking parameters from the URLs you open, like Google Analytics' utm_source, Facebook's fbclid and Google Ads' gclid. The page loads without them, so the link you bookmark, copy or share is clean too. EXAMPLE Before: https://www.theverge.com/tech/review?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=weekly After: https://www.theverge.com/tech/review FEATURES • 170 default parameters, in categories per website and tracking service. Uncheck one to keep it. • Test a URL: paste a URL to see what is removed and which rule removed it. For every parameter that is left, Neat URL suggests a rule; one click adds it. • Click the toolbar button to test the URL of the current tab. • Log: the last 500 cleaned URLs, with the removed parameters struck through. It is kept in memory only. • Your own rules: for all websites or one website, with wildcards, exclusions and values (see below). • A domain blacklist for websites that Neat URL should leave alone. • Keeps signed URLs (like X-Amz-Signature) unchanged, so downloads keep working. • Optional: clean the links in a page, and clean URLs inside parameters. • A counter and an animation on the toolbar button. Right-click it to disable Neat URL until the browser restarts. • Import and export of your preferences. • Dark mode, and the options page in 16 languages. Neat URL uses declarativeNetRequest: Chrome itself removes the parameters, before the request leaves your browser. RULES utm_source — on every website nb@tweakers.net — on one website (and www.) param@*.wired.com — also on every subdomain param@google.* — on google.com, google.co.uk and so on utm_* — every parameter that starts with utm_ ref=share@amazon.com — only with this value !ref@amazon.co.uk — keep this parameter on this website (an exclusion always wins) #?pk_campaign — a parameter after the # $/ref@amazon.* — remove everything after /ref in the path Start a line with "Name:" to group your rules. All rules are explained on GitHub: https://github.com/Smile4ever/Neat-URL#parameter-rules PRIVACY Neat URL doesn't collect or send any data. It needs access to all websites to clean their URLs. REQUIREMENTS Chrome 121 or newer.
