I've been using this extension for a couple years now. In fact, I submitted the pull request for the fbclid feature [1]. @Smile4ever merged and released the change the next day. It is a really great extension with a responsive and helpful maintainer. I'm glad its getting some more visibility.

Sounds good, I didn't know about Neat URL until now as Canonical Url Detector is what I've been using for a long time. It is slightly smaller in size, but maybe not as effective: https://github.com/irok/CanonicalUrlDetector

Unfortunately it doesn't clean up things like AliExpress URLs fully, and PRs aren't moving.
