Not needed since ublock origin can also remove parameters from url.

According to [1], uBlock origin can't yet do everything that ClearURLs can do.

Note that if you spend a lot of money online, extensions like Honey or Capital One Shopping won't work as they often use a url parameter for tracking affiliates and thus giving out cash back.
