    uBlock Origin with the appropriate filter list will do it for you, like this one: https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/blob/master/LegitimateURLShortener.txt

      Add this URL Shortener filterlist to uBlock Origin.
      This removes the fast majority of these query parameters.

        They are called query parameters and they are used for other things as well. So you can remove the ones you see similar to these but sometimes there might be important stuff you need to get the page to load in those parameters.

                whuh? querystrings are integral to things like pagination. they are by no means a negative thing.

                Most systems these days do rewrites (like Apache mod_rewrite) to keep the query parameters out of the URL. Even for pagination. It's not necessarily on by default though because they don't know what environment you're in so you need to do things to enable it (like copy a .htaccess file and enable it in settings).

                  After removing them (or even if there was nothing to remove) I test out links I'm sending in a private browser window to check that they would work for other people.

                    There is. ?s= for a search, and you can combine it with other parameters such as date or taxonomy terms.

                        It is correct and factual. Unfortunately it doesn't really explain anything. There's plenty of situations where you wouldn't want to delete content because they are necessary for functionality.

                            Saying "be the change you want to see" doesn't resolve any of the raised concerns.

                              So annoying to always have to find out how far you can trim a URL before it breaks.

                              Might be able to use a Redirect Checker, like:

                              Redirect-Checker.org

                              or

                              WhereGoes.com

                              Wonder if this helps with TikTok who has these custom URLs that don’t have parameters, just creepy personalized ones

                                I honestly couldn't determine if it was a typo or not, but it's not "fast" but "vast majority."

                                  my brain autocorrected it to "vast," but I like "fast majority" as a phrase

                                      Go to the "Filter lists" tab in the dashboard. At the bottom of the list click "Import" and paste the URL ( https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/LegitimateURLShortener.txt ) in the box. Then click "Apply Changes" to save it.

                                          "everything after the ? Symbol can be removed without issue" is a bold statement to make. Reminds me when the TV news had a specialist telling people to look at urls before clicking and check if it ends with ".php" as that would mean it is a virus.
