Implement $queryprune parameter (original) (raw)

Prerequisites

  • Your issue may already be reported.
• I tried to reproduce the issue when...
  • uBlock Origin is the only extension
  • uBlock Origin with default lists/settings

Description

In #46 about $rewrite parameter author said:

I won't implementing this filter option, I see too many issues with it. I am however open to implement a different filter option with similar purpose, but which would not suffer the issues I see with how rewrite has been designed.
...
I see a better way to implement similar option but with a more focused purpose: to remove specific query parameters from a URL:

||content.uplynk.com/ext/.m3u8?$querystrip=

Where the querystrip option would mean: "remove all query parameters matching the given lists of tokens or pattern".

Will the $querystrip parameter be realized?
