ClearUrls VS Lobsters

ClearURLs locally re-writes common "bounce" redirect links, avoiding a double round-trip when clicking on Google search links (among many others). I supplement this with Redirector for some light automation (old.reddit.com etc), but that's probably overkill.

According it Addon page in AMO, ClearURL seem actually on Gitlab https://gitlab.com/KevinRoebert/ClearUrls

You can use Request Control to remove specific or all parameters from URLs from certain domains and do all kinds of redirections with them. If you find it too complicated, use the ClearURLs support page to ask them to clean up Reddit links for you.

Here's the source code. What attack surface is it adding?

CleadURLs might be useful? It's supposed to do this:

Check out this page and this extension to clean URL automatically, they get way shorter oftentimes.

To add to your list: ClearURLs, LocalCDN

Most likely quite low. I let my addons handle that.

Sounds like you want https://lobste.rs

Well, there's https://lobste.rs/, or we could all go back to slashdot I guess

Requesting https://github.com/lobsters/lobsters as I'm going through that codebase and would be able to provide feedback. cheers

ps. just gonna second everyone else who's saying being able to edit out incorrect data is very important, otherwise people are gonna be weary of reading repos they aren't already familiar with.

> Hacker News, but also lobster.rs

First time I hear about it. I think you meant https://lobste.rs
