"Legitimate URL Shortener" General

[DandelionSprout]

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.

This also is the place to report issues related to the ClearURLs for uBo list. Note that new params for that list must either be reported upstream to https://github.com/ClearURLs/Rules or added to "Legit URL"

READ BEFORE POSTING

Important notes:

• Legitimate URL Shortener can not bypass tracker redirects
• Legitimate URL Shortener can not remove anything after the # in urls
• Legitimate URL Shortener can only remove query parameters (only what is after the ? in URLs)

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.

• Please make sure that Legit URL is installed and up-to-date, and your content/ad blocker is enabled on the affected website before reporting an issue
• ClearURLs for uBo is known to have broad allowlisting rules which can completely nullify Legitimate URL Shortener (i.e. preventing removal of ?ref=thing from Amazon). Please test with it disabled before reporting unblocked parameters.
• Parameters added without reloading the page (such as on Bilibili or Netflix) can not be removed as uBlock Origin/AdGuard never sees them added & thus can not remove them. At best, we can prevent the page from using this trick, but in many cases that is not possible without causing breakage.
  To quote the uBo documentation (added emphasis):

To remove query parameters from the URL of network requests [...]
Cosmetically added params cannot be removed via removeparam

This method does not result in a new network request.

Additional rules:

• Added 11th of July 2024: If a hidden, secret, private or offline source for entries is hinted to, talked about or linked to, you agree to that we will have dirt on you. Publicly available sources are not affected by this.

@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.

[SeriousHoax]

@yokoffing It's happening for me for all Bing searches. Here I am attaching a GIF of what happens on my system.

GIF:

BTW, the extension "ClearURLs" also has this issue. Check this:
https://gitlab.com/KevinRoebert/ClearUrls/-/issues/391

[yokoffing]

I see what you're saying now. Thanks for providing the GIF.

I am reproducing this issue: Search suggestions on bing.com do not appear.

[SeriousHoax]

It should be fixed hopefully because search suggestion is one of the fundamental features of a search engine IMO.

[DandelionSprout]

I have now removed that entry. Thanks for the tip.

[yokoffing]

I'd like to keep an eye on this. ClearURLs seem to be leaning to towards creating a static value for cvid:

At the moment I'm still thinking if it's better to use static values or randomized values. Static values have the advantage that the anonymity group grows with every ClearURLs user, similar to TOR. However, static values at least allow the conclusion that the user is a ClearURLs user, this could be used to exclude all ClearURLs users from certain pages.

Randomized values have the disadvantage that they are possibly unique and can therefore be used for tracking, so there would be nothing to be gained.

So I think I will implement static values and design workarounds for possible problems.

This doesn't work:
$removeparam=curator_clanid,domain=~store.steampowered.*

Example:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/660160/Field_of_Glory_II/?curator_clanid=4777282

Any reason why we're not applying this filter on Steam?

[Nojuuu]

AdguardTeam/AdguardFilters#128512

[iam-py-test]

$removeparam=curator_clanid,domain=~store.steampowered.*

This removes curator_clanid from everywhere but store.steampowered.com. You need:

$removeparam=curator_clanid,domain=store.steampowered.*

Or drop the domain restriction and just remove it from everywhere (but will break both steam and other websites):

$removeparam=curator_clanid

Though, as @Nojuuu shared, this will cause problems
Edit: I have removed that rule in d3fd48c

[karosserie]

The only breakage I can see is the removal of the curator review, but you must open the game page from the curator page(curator_clanid) to see that review to begin with.

Understandable why it might not be wanted in the list.

[yokoffing]

Gorhill of uBlock Origin recommended this filter list to me since uBlock Origin supports $removeparam.

Are the various utm parameters purposefully left out? I didn't see $removeparam=/^utm_/ to strip utm, utm_source, etc.

In the meantime, I've added *$doc,frame,xhr,removeparam=/^utm_/ to my personal filter list.

[DandelionSprout]

I've used /[a-z]tm_.*/ instead of /^utm_/, believing the former to work better. I am not personally aware that an initial ^ is needed, whereas I feel the .* as an infinite-length wildcard is. Additionally, it also covers itm_ and stm_.

[yokoffing]

Ahhh. Excuse my ignorance on the subject matter. I wasn't aware that /[a-z]tm_.*/ encompasses utm, much less itm_ and stm_.

utm is a pretty well-known tracking parameter, so I started to get the feeling that I had some misunderstanding on the matter. (Surprise! lol)

Thanks for clarifying, Dandelion! Excellent work as usual.

It removes most of it but not all of it.

I am also new to this list, I used to use this list https://github.com/kowith337/PersonalFilterListCollection/blob/master/filterlist/other/SurvivedTrackingLinkWarning.txt
But your list should cover all this stuff right? It will remove and not warn obviously but maybe there is some thing there you haven't seen?

[DandelionSprout]

That list seems to attempt to block the links with the trackers entirely, instead of removing the trackers; but I do see considerable potential in borrowing from it. I'll take care of tradera.com as well.

[gorhill]

I've used /[a-z]tm_.*/ instead of /^utm_/, believing the former to work better.

/[a-z]tm_.*/ is untokenizable, and as a result the content blocker will have to scan every URLs just to find out whether there are utm_... parameters to remove. Additionally, the trailing .* accomplish nothing useful, beside asking to regex engine to match more stuff. There is always between 0 and infinite number of characters after any match, so it's a pointless pattern match, and pointless pattern matches are best avoided.

/^utm_/is tokenizable, and hence only URLs with instances of utm_ in them will be processed. The performance benefits of tokenizable filters is such that it's worth to have have two separate filters for /^itm_/ and /^stm_/.

[DandelionSprout]

Took me some hours to think about what "tokenizable" could mean in this context, but I do understand it now.

My use of .* was because I had no knowledge at all that RegEx = no start-end boundaries by default; in sharp contrast to non-RegEx, where $removeparam=utm_ would not block utm_source that I'm aware of.

Although it is tempting for me to meet at the halfway point with ?*tm_$removeparam=/^[a-z]tm_/, I'll implement your suggestion instead for now, provided I don't stumble across additional ones like (hypothetically) ptm_.

[gwarser]

I have few notes for my own filters in "My filters", they may not bee 100% accurate (I don't have much time to investigate), but may be helpful for you:

$removeparam=ref,domain=~github.com|~behind-the-scene #caused issue on github
! ref_$removeparam=/^ref_/ #issues on one of the many rarbg mirrors
! $removeparam=cid #rarbg
! origin=$removeparam=/^origin=(?=.*\W)/ # allegro.pl notification counter was broken - using ^origin=(?=.*\W)/ fixed this, still - gmail.com contacts list do not load, allegro uses words/tokens, gmail uses addresses
! $removeparam=usegapi #gmail contacts stop working

[DandelionSprout]

Of those five, only ref affected me directly and had to be fixed, which I've done now.

[squeak9]

Spotify links could be shorter, example:

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DWXRvPx3nttRN?si=asdf1234567890&utm_source=copy-link

[yokoffing]

Are there some places that extensions can't touch? For instance, when I'm on Reddit and click Share > Copy Link to share a post, there's always a utm attached to it. Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/NatureIsFuckingLit/comments/m8stpe/picture_taken_by_my_mom_we_pic_mushrooms_every/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

No matter if I run ClearURLs, Neat URLS, or Dandelion's filter list in uBlock Origin, clicking Share > Copy Link always gives me a link with utm_* attached. Problematic if I'm just copy+pasting a link to share with a friends.

Now if I take that same link and copy+paste it in my URL bar and press enter while using Dandelion's list, I get: https://www.reddit.com/r/NatureIsFuckingLit/comments/m8stpe/picture_taken_by_my_mom_we_pic_mushrooms_every/?context=3 and Dandelion's list in uBlock Origin removes the tracking parameter.

But no solution I've found removes the tracking parameter upon copy, and looks like what you're describing except with Spotify instead of Reddit.

[gorhill]

uBO will remove query parameters only from outgoing network requests, it does not modify the DOM to rewrite the href attribute of all a tags in the DOM. The removeparam option applies to network filters, it's not a DOM-based utility.

[yokoffing]

wsj.com urls can be made shorter by removing ?mod=

Proposed: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-christian-baker-who-said-no-11616452331

nyt.com urls appeared fine but there was one that would not shorten:

Proposed: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/22/parenting/covid-children-isolation-mental-health.html

[liamengland1]

Some might not want this, for example, links to WSJ on techmeme have the param ?mod=djemalertNEWS which bypasses the paywall.

[DandelionSprout]

Both of these points are now taken care of by the list. Thanks for the tip.

[yokoffing]

@llacb47 whoops. I use Bypass Paywalls Clean. So we should just leave this alone then, @DandelionSprout?

[DandelionSprout]

I've made it so that $removeparam=mod only applies if the mod value starts with trending.

TCGPlayer: everything after ?xid= can be removed.

Example 1 (includes my original search query as indicated by &q= )
Original: https://shop.tcgplayer.com/yugioh/legendary-duelists-sisters-of-the-rose/harpie-lady-elegance?xid=pi59304a70-e073-4a6a-96f1-4ae63bc02dea&q=harpie

Proposed: https://shop.tcgplayer.com/yugioh/legendary-duelists-sisters-of-the-rose/lunalight-blue-cat

[DandelionSprout]

On most sites, blocking q would be a bad idea, because most stores' search criteria determines the placeholder text in the search bar on store pages (e.g. on Amazon). However, that does not seem to be the case on tcgplayer, making it superfluous and indeed removable.

This is now covered by the list. Thanks for the tip.

[yokoffing]

@DandelionSprout, we need a fix for TCGplayer. I cannot fetch search results from https://www.tcgplayer.com/search/all/product.

With the URL Shortener list disabled: The appropriate results show.

With the URL Shortener list enabled: The products from https://www.tcgplayer.com/search/all/product refresh on the page and it doesn't find search results.

Can we still remove ?xid but retain &q somehow?

[DandelionSprout]

Thanks for the headsup. This has been fixed in version 15June2021v2-Beta.

[yokoffing]

Would it be possible for us to handle redirect tracking?

Specifically:

• YouTube redirect links
• Google link tracking
• Bing search result redirects (when "Open links in new tabs" is active):

  • Proposed: https://www.cnn.com/style/article/lil-nas-x-mschf-satan-nike-shoes/index.html

[DandelionSprout]

Sadly not. However, https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/tree/master/Dandelion%20Sprout-s%20Redirector%20Assistant%20List offers it on a very small scale.

uBO does not have the permission to run on browser protected pages afaik. So it will not work.

[kowith337]

It's may only work when you...

• set pref (and maybe you should lockPref(); it?)
• open in new tab instead of click straight.
• refresh page once after clicked.

[SRugina]

https://www.aluminati.net/ 's login process uses the referrer query parameter to redirect after authentication. Stripping this causes the login flow to break as the referrer url is where the code that stores the JWT token executes.

Looks something like:

https://api-v7.aluminate.net/login?badge=<SOME_ID_HERE>&referrer=https://www.<CLIENT_SUBDOMAIN>.aluminate.net/app

Something like this filter will work for this specific case:

! Fix aluminate login flow
@@||aluminate.net/login$removeparam=referrer

but it's possible this kind of login flow is used elsewhere, so perhaps

! Fix login flows using referrer
@@||/login$removeparam=referrer

would be better, or even

! Login endpoints are likely also a place where you generally don't want error messages from false positive parameter removals
@@||/login$removeparam

/ modifying the filter in 37c2857 to be broader and cover this?

[iam-py-test]

I'm not sure about a blanket exception for all URLs starting with login, so I have just excluded the problematic parameter here. Also, for redundancy, I also excluded that entire domain from the problematic filter.
