You could not live with your own OS. Where did that bring you?

For more tech-savvy users, sure. But I thought you were looking for a way for less technical users to share scrubbed URLs. You're not going to get the less technical users out there who share URLs to add a URL tracking filter list to uBlock Origin, but getting them to install ClearURLs is within the realm of possibility.

Yeah, some high-tracking sites do break, and I'll need to turn it off temporarily. If ClearUrls breaks a site, it means that the site baked tracking into the functional features of the site itself (which, besides being terrifying, violates GDPR).

If you get them to install ClearUrls in their browser (Firefox, not Firefox), they can copy/paste URLs directly from their URL bar and the URL will be clean with no extra effort.

I keep it enabled in all my browser profiles pretty much always

I use Nitter Redirect, which redirects any twitter URL I visit to a Nitter equivalent.

Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/nitter-redirect

Not Firefox: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nitter-redirect/mohaicophfnifehkkkdbcejkflmgfkof

If it's working, visiting this link redirects to Nitter: https://twitter.com/DrLongissimus/status/1474279234239619087

It loads for me (archive.org link), maybe they block VPNs

I think they're talking about ads on download pages making it more difficult to click the correct download button when pirating
