Thread not found if URL contains UTM-related query parameters

[memoryonrepeat]

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 :)

I'm aware, it may be worth creating a little function that take care of URL canonicalization, including:

• Removing common query parameters (utm_*, *clid)
• urls ending with index.php, index.htm?l
• Other special cases like #5 (www/non-www)

Oh yes, contributions are very welcome! Thanks.
