I can't find this in uBlock Origin. Can you point me at it?



This was implemented as per discussion with AdGuard's people[1].

For now I know of two lists from prominent maintainers which purpose is to remove unneeded URL parameters:

- https://filters.adtidy.org/android/filters/17.txt

- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/mas...

There are ongoing discussions to include the first one as a stock list (i.e. present in "Filter lists"), though not enabled by default for now.

Addendum: to be clear, this is not a replacement for ClearURLs. ClearURLs has more capabilities then just removing query parameters from the URLs of outgoing network requests.

Thank you so much! I can finally remove those stupid highlights that show up when searching Python docs.

    docs.python.org$removeparam=highlight


Thanks gorhill! Testing these lists as replacement to ClearURLs now. Hope they make their way into the easy-to-enable default/stock lists.

One by-the-way question: how can I "discover" such 3rd-party lists? Is there a place doing lists centralization / aggregation / recommendation?



Thank you! That's great!


Searching a bit, I find in https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/760 and https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/1356 that uBlock Origin offers filter functions $queryprune and $removeparam .

Didn't know uBlock Origin has this, giving it a try. Thanks ChrisGranger!
