Feb 3, 2015 at 14:24	comment	added	Ilmari Karonen		@BrockAdams: I think the simplest solution to that problem would be to strip the tracking parameters from the URL as soon as the page loads, as if it had been redirected. Do that with `@run-at document-start` and you shouldn't even have much extra latency. I've thought of maybe adding this to SOUP at some point.

Jan 19, 2015 at 22:45	comment	added	Brock Adams		Oops, never mind. That above approach won't work, because the URL in the history-list will still not match the displayed URL unless you perma-sanitize all links (messing with SE's tracking and statistics).
Jan 19, 2015 at 22:41	comment	added	Brock Adams		I forgot about that approach. Since you aren't trying to fool the user, or clickjack for revenue or otherwise be Evil (like that site that rhymes with "Google"), that approach may actually be relatively easy. Still have the judgement issues though. Just trimming links is sometimes a disservice.
Jan 19, 2015 at 22:36	comment	added	Nathan Tuggy		@BrockAdams: I had a few ideas about clever trimming to get the equivalent URL and then monkeypatching in the right thing when you click, but that would be fragile and a bit hard to get right. (Like most clever solutions.)
Jan 19, 2015 at 22:33	comment	added	Brock Adams		The only way a userscript could do this is to keep track of every visited URL you browse on SE sites! That could get real messy, real fast. ... But a proper browser extension (Add-on) could leverage the protected history API. Both approaches would have to make judgements about what URL-parameters were equivalent though. For example, this and this are obviously the same, but this is not the same at all.
