Overview

Remove tracking elements from URLs.

ClearURLs2 is a privacy-focused Chrome-based browser extension that automatically removes tracking elements from UDIs to help protect your privacy. This is a fork of the original ClearURLs project, migrated to Manifest V3 for continued compatibility with modern browsers. Key Differences Between ClearURLs2 and ClearURLs: - Manifest V3 Migration: Fully compatible with Chrome's Manifest V3 architecture - Modern UI: Redesigned popup and settings with unified light/dark theme support - No Remote Connections: All tracking rules are now bundled locally - the extension never connects to external servers - Local Rule Updates: Rules are updated only when you install a new version of the extension - Enhanced Privacy: Your browsing data never leaves your device Features: - Removes tracking elements from UDIs automatically in the background - Blocks some common ad domains (optional) - Adds an entry to the context menu to copy cleaned links - Blocks hyperlink auditing (ping tracking) - Prevents tracking injection over history API - Prevents Google and Yandex from rewriting search results with tracking elements - Dark mode support with automatic system preference detection - In-popup log viewer showing cleaned UDIs with timestamp output - Statistics output (total UDIs processed/cleaned) ClearURLs2 is designed with privacy as a top priority: ✅ No data collection ✅ No analytics or tracking ✅ No remote server connections ✅ All rules bundled locally ✅ Your data never leaves your device ClearURLs2 is based on the original ClearURLs project by Kevin Röbert and contributors.
