Nikola Diklic (ID: 0000008f2abd10f8) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 01/26/2023 It does what it says. BUT, it breaks some websites. Biggest example is LinkedIn. Search, messaging and many other features stop working when this extension is active.

icon

Pets Olen (ID: 00000040e4eba34d) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/10/2022 It is good in general, but it re-encodes parameters containing UTF-8 chars wrongly. For example: ?query=p%E4ris comes to ?query=p%EF%BF%BDris

icon

Adrian M (ID: 0000001a52e04578) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 11/01/2022 Buggy, it adds an extra equal sign to the URLs with parameters without values, causing errors.

Jenda Němec (ID: 0000004b61804592) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/28/2022 Works quite good, except one nuisance. If any URL contains spaces encoded as %20, it changes it to +. I frequently use a search engine which demands spaces encoded as %20 and replaces "pluses" with it. This creates infinite loop and I just get too many redirects error in the end.
