Link Cleaner Firefox

Link Cleaner

Clear unnecessary components from the URL query string and potentially improve your privacy.

Features & Capabilities

Link Cleaner removes unnecessary components from a URL or hyperlink.

In general. each URL has several components, such as protocol, domain, and search query string. With this addon, you can easily clean the URL's search query string by adjusting rules in the options page. It operates in two modes (Inclusive and Exclusive). In the inclusive mode, all domains are monitored except those listed in the whitelist table (which, are adjusted separately based on the written rules). In the exclusive mode, only domain(s) in the whitelist table are considered, and all other domains are dismissed. Moreover, this addon can monitor tab (top) domain only, iframe (frame) domain only, and both. The default option is to monitor the top domain only. If you want to see the affected URL(s), please mark the console log option and open the browser's console. The toolbar button serves as an ON|OFF switch to quickly turn the extension on or off.

Note: this extension only works when the link is about to load in a tab or window; it does not change the link's href within the page.

If you have a feature request or found a bug to report, please fill the bug report form on the addon's homepage.

Is Link Cleaner Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Link Cleaner requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
