ClearURLs – automatically remove tracking elements from URLs
Looks like the syntax used by NeatURL, see https://github.com/Smile4ever/Neat-URL#parameter-rules

Google Removed ClearURLs Extension from Chrome Web Store
Check out Neat URL - it's more basic, uses a comma-separated list of rules, and comes with some hard-coded presets you can override. I maintain my list in a text file and just update that and copy/paste in when I want to create one.
Of the defaults, I only override "cid, mbid" as blocking those on every site has ended up breaking some.

How to play 3ds games on a Mac because Ziperto doesn't have my back, and I don't know anything else that can help me with it?
Try https://www.cia-3ds.com that's what I use. Also, I recommend you use https://universal-bypass.org extension, which bypasses bypasses almost anything except linkvertise links (because they got sued for that)

[Firefox] Recommendations (extensions or otherwise) on how to avoid link shorteners and Google AMP?
I've been using unshort.link ever since I came across this thread, but I'm looking for an extension or some other tool in order to unshorten these links automatically. I know of Universal Bypass, which I have used in the past, though I'm not comfortable with giving it full websites access.

Where can i watch K-on! ?
If you'd like to download it I use this thingy you can get the dub here. They offer Google drive and direct download at different resolutions. They have that weird wait for the link kind of thing for the Google drive idk about the ddl but in order to get past that I use this chrome extension and it skips all the annoying crap that usually pops up when you get a link shortening ad service.
