One bug fix in a very long time ... doesn't seem like much. I'm using Adguard URL Tracking list and Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool lists in µBO.

Lots of German/EU members here. Maybe one of them can help.

I have Adguard for Windows and its browser assistant, but I like to stick with ClearURLs's function.
You mean this setting below?

Adguard's remove URL parameter filter has rules for Amazon with an asterix for country code, so this should work for Amazon.de also.

||amazon.*$removeparam=tag
||amazon.*$removeparam=creative
||amazon.*$removeparam=creativeASIN
||amazon.*$removeparam=camp
||amazon.*$removeparam=ascsubtag
||amazon.*$removeparam=ref
||amazon.*$removeparam=vt
||amazon.*$removeparam=refRID
||amazon.*$removeparam=pd_rd_i

Just enable this list in Adguard or add it to uBlockOrigin: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/A...aster/filters/filter_17_TrackParam/filter.txt

You can just enable it in uBlock Origin (or AdGuard) under privacy:

And no need for stealth mode in AdGuard, just enable the filter.

A recent post from the developer regarding status of this extension (see issue issue #1023 and related issues).

Hi. Yes, the project is still maintained by me. As already mentioned in other issues, I don't have so much time at the moment. But from February 2022, I have much more time again. At the latest, then I will add the whitelist feature to ClearURLs.
The rules will, of course, be maintained as well. Anyone who wants to help can take an issue and create a merge request for it in the rules repo. I will try to review the MR as soon as possible and merge it into the master.
I am happy about any help, especially with maintaining the already slightly expanded rules catalog.

Is this extension something that can be replaced by anything, like uBo filters mentioned or a greasyfork script, or is there really no adequate replacement?

"AdGuard URL Tracking filter" and "Actually Legitimate URL Shortener filter" would be the best alternatives to ClearURLs as far as I am aware. The AdGuard filter is also available in uBlock Origin. The second one I mentioned is by default only available in AdGuard adblocker.

Ok. I have those. I'm also using this script, but was wondering if they all are adequate replacements. It sound like they are, or at least the best I can do. BTW, the "Actually Legitimate URL Shortener filter" can be found here and used in uBO since it's just a txt file

Some opinions on Reddit:

ClearURLs still offers a wider variety of rules compared to the lists mentioned above but if you actually need another extension because of that is questionable in my opinion.

See, that's exactly what I was wondering. I only have four extensions, and I want to keep it that way if possible.
