I cannot find this option (or an option to see a list of dirty links at all) maybe because I do not have an entry for ClearURLs in the context menu, any possible reason for this ? Sometimes (but rarely) I have problems with GUI of addons because of my desktop resolution (my eyes are not the youngest anymore), the last thing I see at the bottom of the GUI is "Rule status up to date" (in German here), is this right ? Wondering why I do not have an entry in the context menu...
Edit: I just looked at pictures of the GUI at gitlab and there seems to be a section "Log" under "Rules" at the bottom indeed (which I cannot see) so my assumption was quite right (GUI just "too big" on my desktop), reduces the functionality of the addon unfortunately of course but no solution for this probably. But does this explain the missing entry in the context menu, too ?
Okay, I found the icon for cleaning links by adding them manually in a new window, is it possible to see a list of links blocked or cleaned by ClearURLs in the statistics or elsewhere on the other hand ?
Edit/reply to you answer: I cannot see the log button because of my desktop resolution but this is not very important.
Any idea why I do not get an entry in the context menu ? But I can live without this, too, addon seems to be very good anyway

Please have a look at our wiki: https://gitlab.com/KevinRoebert/ClearUrls/wikis/Interface/1.-Version-1.2.1.x
You have to activate the "Logging". Only then the "Log" button will appear in the UI.
Edit: If you can open the settings, replace the "settings.html" with "log.html" and you will be on the log page. But you must still activate the "Logging" function to see an entry.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14178089, 21 hours agoUnofrtunately it blocks displaying reviews on google maps. When you click on place it should show place details and when you click on reviews there should be popup with reviews in 2nd row. With this add-on enabled they do not pop up.

- Rated 5 out of 5by cegasdg, 7 days agoReally nice. Would be even nicer if you could exclude some websites via a whitelist.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Aaron, 10 days agoPrevents AliExpress.us from loading. Disabling the add-on fixes the issue.

- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12769586, a month agoDoesn't clean urls from results of google websearch in Android. You copy, you get google.com instead of the target url. You had one job.

- Rated 3 out of 5by marzemino, 2 months agoThis isn't so much a review of this addon as it is a complaint about Mozilla. I don't understand why Mozilla "recommends" this addon but does not recommend Neat URL, when I can add custom patterns to the latter but not to the former. I'm convinced ClearURLs only has more users because it has been blessed with a quasi-official "recommendation" from Mozilla, even it lacks functionality which is available with another addon.
