서로 다른 문자열 / different strings

Steps to verify

  • Keep the original URL list.
  • Remove exact repeated strings.
  • Review retained differences per destination.

How to interpret the result

Whether both open the same view depends on the service. Distinguish different strings from functional equivalence.

Deciding what to do next

Do not bulk-reorder signed URLs or search conditions. Review functionality separately when using URL Cleaner.

Feature scope

Keep first-occurrence order while removing matching strings, with trim and empty-line options and case-sensitive comparison, not semantic merging.
