@wout-codes I'm moving the discussion and future parameter comments to here, to make it more clear that there's no need to panic if I don't immediately reply to your comments. As for 88d1cd0#commitcomment-47741008, there is the theorethical possibility that you could submit entries to AdGuard Annoyances Filter or even uBlock Filters. The AdGuard team seemed in my eyes to imply back in November that they'd include "Legitimate URL Shortener" in AdGuard, but I never heard back from them about it after that. |

This is now the place to share new parameters that you want to see be filtered by "➗ Actually Legitimate URL Shortener Tool" and by "⚙️ Dandelion Sprout's Annoyances List".
There is currently no set time for when new reports are looked into, due to e.g. vacations, other computer work, and hobbies, but it's currently less than 2 weeks.
READ BEFORE POSTING
Important notes:
For example, for the url https://example.com/content/badtracker/?utm_source=secret&tracker=true#utm_source=othersecret, Legitimate URL Shortener could shorten it down to https://example.com/content/badtracker/#utm_source=othersecret. However, Legitimate URL Shortener can not clean https://example.com/content/ref=somewhere because /ref=somewhere is not a query parameter. For more information, read the documentation on removeparam.
?ref=thingfrom Amazon). Please test with it disabled before reporting unblocked parameters.To quote the uBo documentation (added emphasis):
This method does not result in a new network request.
