When deleting parameters, you should delete parameters without values (without =), parameters in non-standard format (multiple question marks), do not spoil other parameters, do not delete the fragment without an explicit requirement.
Example of a link for test: http://example.test/path?parameter&utm_source&key=value?utm_medium=abc&parameter&utm_term?key=value&utm_medium=abc#utm_content=utm_campaign?utm_reader=utm_place&utm_reader=utm_place
Should be transformed into: http://example.test/path?parameter&key=value&parameter?key=value#utm_content=utm_campaign?utm_reader=utm_place&utm_reader=utm_place
But it turns into: http://example.test/path?parameter=undefined&key=value

Hi again Geoffrey

I was using ClearLink in the past, which is pitifully no more maintained. Looking for replacement,I first found Link Cleaner ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/link-cleaner/ ) but it fully hard-coded with no customization possible. Then I discovered your (also) excellent Neat Url and Redirector.

The Redirector extension ( https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/redirector/ ) is intrinsically very close but complementary to Neat Url, they both manipulates the URLs to allow better privacy. Yet, having two extensions looks unoptimised, and mainly I'm afraid of potential conflict.

What's your opinion on it? Would there be any advantage of merging both ?

If I go to https://www.google.com/ browser will redirected me to my localized Google search page - https://www.google.pl/
Link will be shown on bottom right corner - Use Google.com
Clicking on this link have no desired effect - page is only refreshed.
Clicking on this link should redirect me permanently to '.com' version of page.

This is because gws_rd@google.* rule.

See /updates?&callback= has been changed to /updates?callback= which should not happen.

I don't know what have been changed from 2.1.2 version on, maybe using some other API?
In that case that API obviously have a lot of problems. The same goes with double quote problem.

From my point of view, versions newer than 2.1.2 are a big step back because of that. :(
Should there any bug to be reported to bugzilla?

Add xmlhttprequest to URL request types.
Restart FF.
Go to Sample URL where is a video, which doesn't work (does not even show).
Remove xmlhttprequest from URL request types.
Retry sample URL... it still does not work.
Restart FF.
Retry again and it works.

despite that I have none defined blocked parameters within the visited URL scope.

Even when I clear all blocked parameters and add only one like blahblahblah the result is the same, leading to breakage.

Now, to the bug: open https://www.buzzfeed.com/bensmith/theres-blood-in-the-water-in-silicon-valley in a Firefox 57 with Neat URL on.

Expected: URL stays clean.
Actual: URL gets a utm_term parameter after loading.

Looks like the utm_term param is added a while after loading, is there anything Neat URL can do?

when i want to share an url, i often richt click on the link in the page, and then select copy url
It would be awesome if neat url was able to intercept it to clean the url. If it can not intercept this action, then an optional new contextual entry would be fine too.

trying to remove params from AMO URLs...
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/?src=cb-dl-users

so i added this to the list...
[email protected]

it works in the end, but the page loads twice, first with the params, then without

req. types is: main_frame,beacon,ping,sub_frame,script,other

this prompts the question as to when Neat URL is doing it's thing - is it cleaning URLs before any request to the site is made, or after?

When visiting www.aliexpress.com the page style and scripts are broken, since every double question ?? in the link is rewritten to single question ?.
If you clear all blocked parameters in the settings, then it works.
If you place just one blocked parameter (try with something nonexisting like: blahblahblahblah), it is broken, even if you clear all the URL request types.

This was not the case with Neat URL 2.1.2 or lower.

• Expected: site loads fully.
• Actual:
  • Without Neat URL, site loads fully.
  • With Neat URL, site loads partially, due to several requests to css/js resources ending up failing as 400 Bad Request:
    

I tried to Enable Logging to try to get an idea of which URL parameter might be culprit, but nothing is logged (I think this logging feature is new, maybe it's buggy and sometimes fails to log?). Also, the requests look identical, and quickly looking at them I failed at finding a parameter that is part of NeatURL's blocked parameters set. HALP!

Second use case: https://video.vice.com/fr_ca/video/a-la-rencontre-des-jeunes-skateuses-dafghanistan/59c590a1b316d26a192b11f6 . With NeatURL, video fails to load.

Neat URL 3.0.0 with default Blocked parameters options, Firefox 58.0a1 (2017-10-08)

Aside: I had to go look at options.js on GitHub to grab the default settings; would it make sense to have a Reset default set of blocked parameters button to let users do this easily? EDIT on second thoughts, that looks like a good way for users to shoot themselves in the foot and lose their filters. Maybe a Copy to clipboard default set of blocked parameters, then? (In order to let users do the edition/merging themselves).

Hi, two simple questions:

1. Is it possible to add to NeatURL other functions like "redirecting", "skipping" etc?
   If not, why do we need two add-ons for that? Please, does anybody know an add-on "all-in-one", tracking cleaning & redirecting/skipping urls?

2. Some antitracking/skip/redirect add-ons are around or even less than 10 KiB size, with minimum system performance impact. Does add-on size/performance depend on quantity of rules/blocking or redirecting capabilities?

Using Firefox Nightly and Neat URL 3.2.0.

STR:

1. (If applicable) Sign out of getpocket.com
2. Navigate to a page and click the Pocket icon in the URL bar
3. Click "Sign in with Firefox"

What should happen:

• I see the Firefox Accounts sign in screen

What actually happens:

• I see an error about invalid OAuth parameters

Why this happens:

Neat URL appears to encode spaces as +, rather than a literal space or %20. For example:

Unmodified: https://accounts.firefox.com/oauth/signin?client_id=xxx&state=xxx&scope=profile:uid profile:email profile:display_name
w/Neat URL: https://accounts.firefox.com/oauth/signin?client_id=xxx&state=xxx&scope=profile:uid+profile:email+profile:display_name

Firefox stable, clean profile, only last version of Neat URL installed.

Open browser console.

3. Open this link in new tab (middle click or from context menu)

New tab will open, and

• current tab will be redirected to above link, but without utm parameters, new tab will have URL with utm parameters
  OR
• if you go to this new tab, you will see additional entry in history under back button containing URL with utm parameters

Sorry to say this, but I think this feature should be removed. It is out of purpose for Neat URL and it's current implementation via array iteration is awfully inefficient. Why would you want to reinvent it anyway? There are already several ad-blocking extensions which do exactly that and do it fast.

I will collect samples in the next days when I will stumble on and will post them here?
The problem of those "changes" is also when in research mode it is a lot of false positives where digesting over them is time consuming. :(

When Neat URL is active or has any blocked parameter in the settings, then download at site https://www.java.com/en/download/windows-64bit.jsp doesn't work.

If you delete all the blocked parameters in the settings then download works.
If you enter any blocked parameter, for example only "blahblahblah", then download doesn't work.

Its not that download that botheres me, but it must be something deeper in Neat URL that doesn't work well. Maybe the URL() function?

Cheers

Hi

Last parameter in settings is ignored.
Example: utm_source, utm_medium, utm_term
utm_term will be ignored

If semicolon is used at the end, then if works.
Example: utm_source, utm_medium, utm_term,

Cheers

@crssi

The code is in git, plus there is also a compiled version in ZIP format (but I think it's easier to use about:debugging)

Things you can test:

• Several encoding bugs fixed #73 #75 #93
• Re-initialise listener, hopefully fixes #92
• Fix "Show counter" setting (introduced in 3.2.0) doesn't do anything #91
• Workaround for gws_rd@google.* on google.com #76
• Implement hash parameters using #? #83

And any breakages you notice. Please use this issue for any problems you find that are unrelated to existing issues (otherwise, use the relevant issue to comment on).

Does it means that when for example we have parameter in settings utm_source it wont be catched if there will be parametes in URL like UTM_source?

Can you make icon red color for example, which would not reset back to default after some time period, on the tabs where Neat URL makes changes?
It would be more visible.

Two non-critical issues:

1. Text in side menu is out of visible bounds:
   
   I'd suggest trimming the text to just "Neat URL", maybe "Neat URL enabled", but that is a bit redundant because of addon's icon state and/or tooltip text.

2. Options page having scroll bars for no obvious reason:
   
   Other addons which are using similarly designed options (like Pure URL or Decentraleyes) seem quite happy with the same window width or input fields.

Hi @Smile4ever

One thing I am in the process of doing with the ghacks user.js wiki page for extensions is to add Privacy Policy links (like below). If an extension has one that respects privacy, awesome, if not, no such "badge" (and if it has one one that stinks, it will not be recommended).

We currently have Neat URL listed (we just focus on privacy/tracking/anti-fingerprinting/security)

Would you consider creating a simple AMO Privacy Policy (or GitHub wiki page, or root md file)? Cheers.

• uBlock Origin ^{✔ Privacy} | GitHub << GitHub example
• Decentraleyes ^{✔ Privacy} | GitHub << AMO example

the addition of allowing the user to decide what request types are filtered is interesting, except i don't know what the heck to do with it :)

in your opinion, and given i'm concerned with privacy (i use the ghacks user.js in combo with my own) but am willing to sacrifice a bit of privacy for a somewhat carefree browsing experience, what request types should be filtered? in other words, what filters are unlikely to cause a lot of breakage? i don't mind fiddling around with some sites on occasion to get them to work, but i don't want to be constantly bothered with it

btw, i like the content on your website - you seem to be pretty busy and knowledgeable for a young fella :)

When visiting forbes.com, it uses a unique identifier such as #46fdy9dh73fd at end of each link/url you visited to track user. For instance:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/kerryadolan/2017/03/20/forbes-2017-billionaires-list-meet-the-richest-people-on-the-planet/#46fdy9dh73fd

How do you use Neat URL to clean/block that unique identifier?

I don't know if it is intended, but Amazon links are not cleaned. I have noticed this behavior by testing the links shown on a similar addon page:
https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/link-cleaner/

I don't care about skipping redirections, because I use another more general addon, which is not limited to Facebook, Steam and Reddit. However, I wonder whether there is a good reason not clean Amazon URLs. Maybe it interferes with the shopping process? I remember I tested Link Cleaner earlier this year and thought that the addon was too brutal and would break some websites.

I'm using Neat URL 2.1.2.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add rule [email protected].
2. Go to https://github.com/Smile4ever/firefoxaddons/tree/master/Neat%20URL-webext?test=1#neat-url.
3. Result: https://github.com/Smile4ever/firefoxaddons/tree/master/Neat%20URL-webext (without fragment).

PS Off-topic, regarding your URL-splitting code - wouldn't it be simpler to use URL()? Just a suggestion.

Which types of requests are covered by Neat URL?
Document, Sub document, Stylesheet, Script, Image, Object, PlugIN, XMLHttpRequest (XHR), XBL, XSLT, Ping, Beacon, XML DTD, Font, Media, WebSocet, CSP report, Imageset, Web Manifest, Other

Can I see anywhere what was originally requested and what was really requested after Neat URL has done its job?

Thank you buddy and cheers

Highlight user settings by a different color.

Please stop urlDecoding URL at a whole on the beginning of cleaning. This looses information! L460

For example:

• create rule [email protected]
• go to example.com?foo%3Dbar=baz
• browser should send: foo=bar == baz
• extension sees example.com?foo=bar=baz
• extension removes foo == bar=baz

Another:

• go to example.com?foo=bar&ab%3Dcd=ef
• after cleaning, browser should send ab=cd == ef
• actually ab == cd=ef is sent

Related Smile4ever/firefoxaddons#73

If this is really needed, do this after splitting by ?, & and =.
If you want to support url's like this: example.com?url=example2.com%3Futm%3Dsomething you should probably use recursion ;) URLs like this will be cleaned after redirection to example2.com.
