| 2024-12-20 |  | | en | Breaks all floating elements in Google Sheets (e.g. search, insert link, insert pivot table, sidebars) with no option to whitelist sites. Issue was reported many times on GitLab since 2021, with no fix as of yet. |

| 2024-11-28 |  | | en | Does not work. Doesn't shorten URLs or clear tracking jargon |
| 2024-11-21 |  | | en | Works definitely. Would love to see a lighter version of the extension with minimum and simple/cleaner UI with same functionality and result. |

| 2024-10-19 |  | | en | Oct 2024 - Not usable. Cannot be enabled or installed. RIP. Requesting dev to bring Clear URL Lite for Chromium users. UPDATE 23 SEPT - Google has removed this addon from installing or reenabling if installed because it doesn't follow best practices by google (as if google follows ethical practices (read: EU court cases against Google and other cases against Google globally for monopolistic practices and destroying and overtaking businesses). This not only affects chrome browser but every other browser except firefox based browsers that runs on chromium engine. Good luck chrome and RIP dev. ================================================================================= Update - Requesting Dev to update it ASAP since it doesn't work anymore in chromium browsers and chrome will disable and remove it post MV3 thing happens. Works but only half-heartedly. Creates big issues when logging in with several sites and esp., with google sites and where google login is present. Plus a lot of sites detect this as adblocker so either I have disable this or leave that site. I don't know why dev hasn't provided any whitelist or blacklist option. Waiting for better update in 2023. |
| 2024-10-18 |  | | ru | Расширение прекрасно работало, но где-то в районе 10 октября с этим расширением перестали работать Google Docs: не работают пункты меню, не открываются ссылки и т.п. чертовщина. Кажется, я встречался с непонятными сбоями в функционале и на других сайтах, но точно сказать не могу. С Google Docs проверено. Пришлось расширение выключить |
