Dear all,

I think it is time to fork this extension to have updates...

I can't see any pull request from you.

Why do you want to fork it if you don't even contribute? The code is open, just fork it and do better.

@hsantanna: The problem is there is no changes from the author and it is needed to have a new extension in browsers.

There are PRs:

@KevinRoebert: Thanks for your answer!

Have you seen how many PR and Issues are opened without an answer of you?

Can you release a new version?

Thanks in advance.

I agree. The current version of ClearURLs doesn't address x.com URLs, nor does it address YouTube's new tracking URLs. These are the two biggest sources of tracking URLs I encounter on a daily basis, and I'm tired of ClearURLs doing nothing about them.

If ClearURLs had some feature to devise custom rules, then I would be using that, but alas, it doesn't.
