+# ClearURLs
+
+---------
+**ClearURLs** is an add-on based on the new WebExtensions technology and optimized for *Firefox*.
+
+This add-on will remove the tracking fields form all URLs which are visited by the browser and use a rule file, namely `data.json`.
+
+This add-on protects your privacy and block the request from advertising services like *doubleclick.net*.
+
+> **Application:**
+
+> - Large (and small) webpages use elements in the URL, e.g.: https://example.com?source=thisIstheSiteIvisitedBefore to track your online activities. In this example, the source field tells the provider which page you visited before. The add-on will remove these tracking fields from the URL
+
+If have any suggestions or complaints, please create an issue request.
