**ClearURLs** is an add-on based on the new WebExtensions technology and is optimized for *Firefox* and *Chrome* based browsers.
This add-on will remove the tracking fields from all URLs which are visited by the browser and use a rule file, namely `data.min.json`,
to protects your privacy.
This add-on will remove the tracking fields from all URLs, which are visited by the browser, with the help of an external rule file,
which is regularly updated by us and can be found [here](https://gitlab.com/KevinRoebert/ClearUrls/raw/master/data/data.min.json),
to protect your privacy.
## Application
Large (and small) webpages use elements in the URL, e.g.: https://example.com?source=thisIstheSiteIvisitedBefore to track your online activities. In this example, the source field tells the provider which page you visited before. The add-on will remove these tracking fields from the URL.
Large (and small) websites use elements in the URL, e.g.: `https://example.com?utm_source=newsletter1&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=sale`
to track your online activities. In this example, the `utm` fields used to track a custom campaign, managed by Google. It tells the provider, and also Google,
the source, the medium (e.g. email or web) and the specific campaign of the link. All these tracking fields are not necessary for a website to be displayed
or work correctly and can therefore be removed - that is exactly what ClearURLs does, so you can think of it as an *URL clean maid*.
Another common example are Amazon URLs. If you search for a product on Amazon you will get a very long URL for this product, e.g.
`https://www.amazon.com/dp/exampleProduct/ref=sxin_0_pb?__mk_de_DE=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&keywords=tea&pd_rd_i=exampleProduct&pd_rd_r=8d39e4cd-1e4f-43db-b6e7-72e969a84aa5&pd_rd_w=1pcKM&pd_rd_wg=hYrNl&pf_rd_p=50bbfd25-5ef7-41a2-68d6-74d854b30e30&pf_rd_r=0GMWD0YYKA7XFGX55ADP&qid=1517757263&rnid=2914120011`,
the most of this URL is available for tracking and is not needed. After ClearURLs has cleaned this URL, it looks like this:
`https://www.amazon.com/dp/exampleProduct`
