Feature request to be able to exclude websites

[o-be-one]

Hello,

i wanted to upload a file on Tresorit website's and i was not able because ClearURL was cleaning some part of it. I had few 412 HTTP status. I haven't digged deep but i've seen that disabling this extension (latest stable Firefox in my case) resolved my issue.
So, i've searched to add Tresorit in an exclusion list as i can do with few other addons but haven't seen that.

Is it possible to add a feature to disable ClearURLs options for selected websites? Or at least can someone fix the file upload blocking we experience on Tresorit website?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Hello,

same problem occurs when I'm trying to visit the following page:

https://app.getresponse.com/click.html?x=a62b&lc=SX7CKv&mc=In&s=NBb4KD&u=zs9vf&z=ES3yhIs&

The filtered version doesn't include mc=ln and the trailing &, if this part is removed, I get redirected to a 404 page, but if I disable the addon, I get redirected properly.

This happens to all app.getresponse.com/click.html links, but unsubscribe.html or change.html works perfectly fine.

I agree, please add a whitelisting feature or a button to enable/disable the add-on on each website. Not to sound ungrateful, but, seriously, it's like the most basic feature in something which has the potential of breaking things.

I also need a whitelist feature. I leave the addon uninstalled until this feature has been added.

Have also had instances that I need to disable it or pages won't load for a service.

When this occurs I typically disable the extension and never turn it back on for ages because I'll forget about it.

The mc query param in this link https://www.mailing.dzone.com/click.html?x=a62e&lc=toz&mc=h&s=TSmS&u=f&z=oTUWUqe& is getting removed and causing to redirect to 404 page.

I would like to have an option to whitelist certain websites or certain params in URLs of certain websites.

Also throwing my hat in the ring for this feature request

[securingmom]

This seems like it would be better if it had a list subscription option so all y'all could help build a peer reviewed whitelist for optional implementation.

[LM1LC3N7]

As the extension manipulate URLs, this can led to some false positives.
So adding an exclusion option, like uBlock (you can disable the extension for the current visited domain) would be a great idea 😄

This add-on makes my University's websites unusable.

[VictorioBerra]

Please add this.

[ipleten]

Selfhosted GitLab server is also affected - I can't switch branches on WEB UI drop-down list due to parameter is being cleaned each time.

[brendandburns]

fwiw, creating new GitHub CodeSpaces is also broken by this.

[Ansem93]

This should be top priority. I have important websites not working because of clearurls.

[DaBomby]

This is a huge deal breaker in terms of using this addon. A simple all rules are on or all rules are off functionality is not helpful. It turns into a situation wherein you will have to turn it off to make sites work, and then you forget to turn it back on. Ultimately eroding the value proposition from this extension.

This should be made a priority for a new feature release.

[Ryonez]

@KevinRoebert, lucky you for the mention. No-one working on this has responded here and you have the most recent commits.

To give you an idea how bad this is, this breaks websites. Legitimate ones some of us need to use.
Where the aim is to improve browsing experience and maintain users privacy, the inability to use legitimate services that we need to does the opposite, resulting in the extension being disabled or removed.

This should be considered a key required feature for the extension.

Agree, there does not seem to be any response and the updates to the code are rather infrequent. I wonder if this project has become abandoned?

@KevinRoebert or @yipinghuang1991 are you able to weigh in on this?

[sreid99]

Seems to break playing videos on google drive too.

[Ryonez]

If you've made it this far I'm going to recommend just disabling/removing this extension for now. Despite this being a long standing issue that will completely break sites, and it's the second most thumbed up issue that's open (The first being a request for Safari support that has had a response), no one working on the extension has made any kinda of reply here. And that's despite people mentioning them in this issue for some kind of feedback.

It breaks sites, the devs don't seem to care, just remove the extension and move on at this point.

[ahuj9]

Can we just add a "disable on this site" button to the extension?

[Caligatio]

This add-on now breaks the new login flow for the US's third largest credit union. It would be wonderful if we could get some ability to whitelist sites, even if it isn't he prettiest implementation.

[GuardianLiarus]

Yes please, we need this feature, some sites break due to clearurls for me

[learn2reid]

Is there any update on this?

[thakyZ]

I would like this mainly because I believe filtering links on Steam's link filter wouldn't be a good idea and might be a security risk. So I would like to piece of mind to not have that be bypassed.

[qmzmdqs]

I also need this feature.
I hope it can be temporarily disabled at the specified host and URL. Because some rules have errors, which affect the normal function of the webpage

[diogoleitao]

Chiming in on this as well, HERE WeGo breaks a lot with this extension as well.

[abudhu]

Also adding my desire for this feature. Please!

[pjboro]

This addon is breaking some popular websites. The probable result is that people disable it and forget to turn it on later. It would be awesome to be able to turn the extension off for specific websites.
Would devs accept a PR, provided someone created one?

[keldian]

For everyone's info, there's been some discussion about whether or not CleanURLs is even necessary with the appropriate uBlock lists. It sounds like you can replace the functionality of CleanURLs with AdGuard URL Tracking Protection and Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool.

uBO has no support for bypassing redirect tracker URLs, never mind how many lists you add to it. That specific mechanism is the entire reason I started using ClearURLs.

[conradsrc]

The author said he'd be working on it more after Feb '22 and wanted to put in the whitelist feature, though it seems @KevinRoebert hasn't posted on this issue about it.

I'm using Tautulli and "Login with Plex" no longer works. ClearURLs mangles the URL so that it just points at the frontpage of the Plex website. I tried fiddling with ClearURL's options but it seems none of them are specifically causing it. I was only able to fix it by disabling ClearURLs altogether.

It would be infinitely easier to have a whitelist feature where I could fix this in seconds, as opposed to having to disable the extension and write up an issue here for every single possible website that this could happen to.

broken captcha login on gate.io with filter enabled

[xenstar]

wow, so many people have requested this. Now if I disable it for a specific site, I have to disable it for all the sites. And sometimes I even forget to enable it. This is a good plugin, I hope the developer will add a whitelist function soon.

[EsEnZeT]

Is there better alternative? It started to brake gdrive file stream login. I guess I just remove it, not worth the trouble.

[gbakeman]

As mentioned earlier, you can supplement most of CleanURL's functionality with uBlock lists.

[Brog33]

love this plugin but it breaks certain sites, so i will disable it until a whitelist is in place.

[learn2reid]

+1!

[Drugoy]

@EsEnZeT NeatURL - a better alternative that has the blacklist functionality (which this ticket is all about) and whose UI I like more (instead of showing me bullshit like statistics - get me direct access to the GET param cleanup rules!).

[OutlawCecil]

Agreed this is needed! AliExpress is broken by this extension currently.

[o-data]

I remember there was a Whitelist feature, could I have remember it wrong? Anyway here is the error for one of website I used it break the Search function. Disable ClearURL will work again.

Required request parameter 'ref' for method parameter type String is not present

[nxmndr]

I have tried editing the data.minify.json & rules.minify.hash URLs with new ones giving custom JSON but they are not saved clicking Save & restart.

Make sure hash is lower case

[Banaanae]

I've started working on adding a whitelist, I'll make a draft PR once basic functionality is added

[nxmndr]

Thanks :) Ideally it should be per parameter and per website, as some legit website also have some parameter mishmash.

Everything is lowercase.

[Banaanae]

I'll see what I can do, but that might be a bit advanced for me :)

Also most whitelist that come to mind (uBo sponsor block) don't even have this functionality

However when I submit my PR anyone could implement that

[Banaanae]

This has been completed in #372

[o-data]

Now to hope that a new release is build
