how can i copy clean link from facebook page? i don't see any options under the right click menu like the ClearURLs extension has - right click > Copy Clean Link Location?

Единственное рабочее расширение если нужно указать свои списки параметров URL для удаления. Работает как надо, спасибо разработчику! PS Свои параметры надо указывать без доп знаков ? и тд. Просто сам параметр. Например не ?igsh&fdsfsdf, а просто igsh. Следующий параметр через запятую.
