It seems interesting that "Clear URLs" might clean URLs of tracking pieces on the URLs. Is that something covered by other extensions, particularly by uBlock Origin?

For LibreWolf + uBlockOrigin users might seem unnecessary, but when sharing URLs with others, who one is not aware what browsers they use, then perhaps it's useful. What do you think?

it's covered, yes. we enable a built-in list that strips some query params and we also add an extra one that strips more stuff (courtesy of the great https://github.com/DandelionSprout).

btw Firefox also has native query stripping now, so there's one extra layer of protection! see https://privacytests.org/
