  Searching a bit, I find in https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/760 https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/760 and https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/1356 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!

  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://filters.adtidy.org/android/filters/17.txt - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/LegitimateURLShortener.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. --- [1] https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/1356#issuecomment-735896202 https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues/1356#is...

    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?
