User Reviews

Users appreciate Neat URL for effectively cleaning URLs and maintaining privacy without breaking websites, making it a preferred and lightweight alternative to similar add-ons like ClearURLs and CleanLinks. They highlight its essential role in their browsing experience and customizability through blocking rules. However, users desire regex support, a more user-friendly interface for rule management, and better visibility into blocked parameters. Some experience compatibility issues on certain sites like AMO, likely due to browser restrictions.

Pros

Lightweight and does not interfere much with browsing experience compared to similar add-ons

Cons

Lacks regex support for more advanced rule definitions
No built-in user interface to easily edit default rules or add multiple parameters per domain
Does not work properly on certain sites like AMO due to browser restrictions
Limited troubleshooting or visibility features to see what parameters have been blocked

Does the job and does it well. It has the ability to add your own filtering which I have made use of and it works perfectly.

Is Neat URL 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.

Neat URL requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
