Reviews for ClearURLs – Add-ons for Firefox Android (en-US)

Please keep the addon focused on what its name suggests: clearing URL.

If I want to block doubleclick, I can use another addon. Keep it simple and focused!

Thanks for your feedback.

Since the first version of this add-on, we also block tracking domains like doubleclick.net. Rules for these sites are not rational, because the entire page is a tracking "field".
This is the reason why we do not and will never delete complete domain blocking for tracking domains like doubleclick.net.
We also describe this feature since the first version in the description of the add-on, so every knows, what the add-on does.

This one seems to have the greatest coverage though I am concerned of the performance penalty to use so much regex as opposed to a hardcoded list of url parameters- esp. on Android

Thank you for your positive feedback.

Edit: Since your review, I have made many performance optimizations on ClearURLs, especially for Android.
Can you reassess how ClearURLs is now behaving on your device?
