Why no option to simply remove all URL parameters after a question mark? #256

I was really happy to find this extension for thunderbird and chrome. Thanks for the hard work.

Could you tell me if there's a way to remove all parameters for URLs to a specific site, or from a specific email address in firefox?

Smile4ever commented 3 years ago

Are you looking for this?

Parameters can contain a wildcard at the end or before the domain sign:

utm_*
utm_*@omgubuntu.co.uk

That would only remove parameters starting with "utm_", wouldn't it? If so, no. I want to remove ALL the parameters.

Smile4ever commented 3 years ago

Currently, this is not possible.

The workaround is putting all the letters of the alphabet with an asterisk and converting them in parameters you can use, for example:

a*@omgubuntu.co.uk, b*@omgubuntu.co.uk, c*@omgubuntu.co.uk

Removing all parameters would actually break some sites, like Google Search and Google Image Search (on Linux at least) if I recall correctly (because I tried removing all parameters somewhere in the Google ecosystem once and immediately reversed course).

It would be very nice to have:

*@example.com
!s@example.com

to allow only s and just remove all other...
