by Firefox user 12765006, 7 years agoNeat URL cleans URL's up well.
Good replacement for Pure URL.
It does not clean up URLs in a webpage when loading that webpage. The Pure URL addon or Clean Links addon did that.
Would like Neat URL to fix URL's within webpages when loading them. Plz add this feature.
The developers seem to be making Neat URL into a replacement for Pure URL. The mentions of feature parity in the changelogs are greatly appreciated. From what version onwards is the Neat URL at full feature parity?
I find myself searching for a good URL clean-up addon.
Neat URL is good but lacks dealing with redirects (including nested ones) and retrieving long URLs from shortened URLs.
I would like to consolidate URL clean-up in one addon. I would like to see URL cleaners take a more feature-rich direction.
Now I have to install Neat URL, Skip Redirect and Long URL Please Mod.
I also stumbled into two problems.
Adding a new rule to the bottom on a new line caused the addon to not use the line.
Using $.html@phys.org $html@phys.org or $.html@phys.* or $html@phys.* caused the extension to remove the html part from the link. Plz Fix.

* Neat URL is good but lacks dealing with redirects (including nested ones) and retrieving long URLs from shortened URLs.
That's why there exist other addons that do exactly that. I believe Neat URL should do one thing well, which is "cleaning URLs". Skipping redirects or retrieving long URLs from short ones will not be in the feature scope of Neat URL.
* Adding a new rule to the bottom on a new line caused the addon to not use the line.
I don't consider this to be a high priority issue. Might be improved in a later version.
* Using $.html@phys.org $html@phys.org or $.html@phys.* or $html@phys.* caused the extension to remove the html part from the link. Plz Fix.
Sorry, this is expected behaviour and working as intended. $ removes everything that comes after it when used as a Neat URL parameter.
