copy-unicode-urls - Don't decode %25 (encoded percent sign) Latest Release

Published by ilyaigpetrov about 1 year ago

Decoding %25 may lead to URLs that contain %foo where foo is a random string, e.g. %25abc -> %abc.
Such URLs are rejected by some sites (github.com returns 500 or 400, e.g.).
So we don't decode them from now.

For testing: https://github.com/ilyaigpetrov/copy-unicode-urls/wiki/Test-%25-and-%3F.

copy-unicode-urls - New Feature: Decode Multiple Times

Published by ilyaigpetrov over 2 years ago

Sometimes you need to decode a snippet that is encoded multiple times (e.g. Google search results for FireFox).
Now it's possible thanks to a new option "If to decode multiple times".
It decodes a snippet until its decoded version is equal to its encoded version.
