          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).

            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.

            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.

                      Be the change you want to see. Here is my instance https://video.benetou.fr/ even if nobody cares, I tried.

                      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

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

                          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.

                                        Difference being that the ? in URLs separates the resource from additional information

                                        So unless some website decides to identify the resource in those query field (for example search results pages in a web search), you are generally safe

                                        In any case, messaging apps will try to navigate to the site to create a caption for your message, and that can be a way to check if it works or not

                                          Don't some browsers do this automatically?
