Abandoned. This app hasn't been updated in almost two years as of August 2026. CleanURLs is a massive security risk that leaves users machines and data extremely vulnerable to attack. If still using uninstall and rate 1 star to get this abandoned ware out of suggested addons.

For a while I had some issues with websites, after a while I started checking what was ruining it. I came onto this extension, the reasons I found is that it too aggressively kills script or cookies or whatever a extension fx google.ai relies on (google search engine) The idea behind the extension itself is good but the function and the use i need it for did not help. This extension did mess it up a bit so.

Disables AI Overview on Google

This app is generally useless. It does nothing. For example, I want to share a youtube video without trackers. I press the share icon then press copy url then i paste this url in the massage box to send it to my friend. And this app changes nothing. In the message box url will be the same. For me it is just easier to remove text after question mark in url to remove tracker part of url. So i really don't get. Does this app even work? Or maybe url clipboard checking is not enabled? Then how do i turn it on? So nope. I had enough. I will not use it.

Removing this addon fixed searching in Reddit. Do Google AI search for "removing clearurls addon fixes various problems". Removing it fixes many problems. This should not be a recommended addon.

Cannot log into NHS.UK with this on, it blocks access. Really poor and potentially dangerous.

I spend more time for understand how rules (not) work than manually remove crap from urls!

Warning: Breaks public service login systems
This extension removes critical parameters from URLs used in SAML logins (like RelayState, SAMLRequest), which breaks authentication flows on government websites such as Spain’s SEPE / Cl@ve.
The lack of a domain whitelist makes it too aggressive for practical daily use. Great idea — but the execution is becoming detached from real-world needs.

Does not clear any URL's on YouTube. Was forced to use a userscript for that. Lame

Algo tan simple y básico como limpiar las URL de las búsquedas de Google no lo hace. Su página de ayuda dice que agregues las URL, en ese caso tienes que hacer todo tú, no hay un filtrado automático. Su página de ayuda dice que después de varias veces que limpia la URL ya queda lista, hay apps que lo hacen a la primera. Inservible este Add-on.

does nothing!

This extension breaks the functionality of Google Search's "AI Overview"
If there are any workarounds or any possible blacklist/whitelist feature, please let me know, as this caused a lot of frustration.
This is an excellent extension, but I have to leave it at a 1/5, for now.

A seriously broken release took weeks to roll back. Other reviews have mentioned various impacts of this. One that affected me, but no one else has mentioned, is that Google started requiring captchas for me from every search, due to "unusual activity from your computer network". That was very burdensome and time-consuming for me.

Sorry, I'm uninstalling as I don't want to take the risk of this happening again.

After days of flickering URLs driving me crazy, I finally spent an hour or so disabling and testing a simple ddg.co search for the flickering issue.

The flicking URL is caused by ClearURLs!

Too bad but it drives me nuts and no matter the positive features of the add-on, it has to go.

Thanks to the dev for the pre-flickering usefulness and best of luck debugging the problem.

It has been breaking practically all major websites for months, including Microsoft, YouTube, Instagram, and Google Search.

For example, on YouTube, when I search for "Test Video", the params in the URL should look like this: "results?search_query=Test+Video&sp=CAI%253D," but the addon removes the "&sp" param, destroying my filter, and the URL is like flickering because it removes and adds the + multiple times until the URL is so broken that the website freezes or is lagging when scrolling. When clicking on a video, the URL gets completely destroyed and gets a mix-up of the search and video URLs, or sometimes it just doesn't show the video URL and removes all params and just shows the base URL.

In this state, the addon is not usable.

Has started breaking many websites. Voice.google.com for example; other reviews mention a bunch more.

Currently breaks many different sites. Twitter Searches with spaces in the query, and google images for example.

No me permitía usar mi cuenta de google al entrar en paginas web.

Had to deactivate it because of some legit search forms not filling in real-time, and because of issues with the 'sign-in with a google account' feature of many websites

It somehow breaks google translate, causing it to change it's url like 10 times/second, taking all of the traffic and making it impossible to load any other page.

I think I can see what it's trying to do, though it breaks signing in with accounts like Google (oauth)
