ClearURLs
ClearURLs is an add-on based on the new WebExtensions technology and is optimized for Firefox and now also available for 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.
This add-on protects your privacy and block the request from advertising services like doubleclick.net.
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.
