I'm aware, it may be worth creating a little function that take care of URL canonicalization, including:
utm_*
, *clid
)index.php
, index.htm?l
Oh yes, contributions are very welcome! Thanks.
Sure, created the MR, could you please take a look https://github.com/pinoceniccola/what-hn-says-webext/pull/7
Hello,
I notice that the extension sometimes can't find the thread if the link contains UTM-related parameters. These are usually generated when clicking to links from newsletters and can be safely removed to improve search quality. What do you think?
Example: https://www.deprocrastination.co/blog/how-to-be-productive-without-forcing-yourself?utm_source=hackernewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=fav
Works after removing all the params: https://www.deprocrastination.co/blog/how-to-be-productive-without-forcing-yourself
If you're busy I can also help with a PR. Thanks for making this extension btw :)
