Netflix URL parameters not removed on click

[crisp5]

Prerequisites

• I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue.
• The issue is not present after disabling uBO in the browser.
• I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I am reporting is not normal behavior.

I tried to reproduce the issue when...

• uBO is the only extension.
• using a new, unmodified browser profile.

Description

uBlock Origin with LegitimateURLShortener list does not remove URL params when clicking on a video in Netflix.

A specific URL where the issue occurs.

https://www.netflix.com/watch/70196252?trackId=14170289&tctx=1%2C0%2C383753a9-8687-4a60-a53c-be18c25ddf67-81757184%2CNES_BC905A0CC1350F2E821EEA46154994-B9F225DDE3A711-3D4F048A1B_p_1676524458178%2CNES_BC905A0CC1350F2E821EEA46154994_p_1676523944127%2C%2C%2C%2C70143836%2CVideo%3A70143836

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install uBlock Origin
2. Import DandelionSprout's Legitimate URL Shortener list (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/LegitimateURLShortener.txt)
3. Log in to Netflix.
4. Click on a content tile (e.g. a movie, a series) to start playing it.

Expected behavior

Upon clicking on a movie or series, the URL should have the form https://www.netflix.com/watch/<CONTENT_ID>, without any URL parameters.

Actual behavior

The URL has the form https://www.netflix.com/watch/<CONTENT_ID>?trackId=<TRACKING_ID>&tctx=<LONG_CONTEXT_STRING>. The parameters disappear upon refreshing the page, as expected. Logger only shows removeparam rules being triggered on refresh, not on click.

The parameters disappear upon refreshing the page, as expected. Logger only shows removeparam rules being triggered on refresh, not on click.

Cosmetically added params cannot be removed via removeparam.

Good to know, this can be closed as a dupe of whatever issue first brought it up then. Would you consider adding a note to the wiki if this is specific to removeparam and you get the issue repeatedly? Thank you!

Would you consider adding a note to the wiki if this is specific to removeparam and you get the issue repeatedly?

It's already explained there, at the very beginning, mentioned two times :

New in 1.32.0. ( ==> Related issue: #760 ==> #760 (comment) )

To remove query parameters from the URL of network requests

But if it's still not clear enought, then maybe worth adding to Wiki :
"Cosmetically added params cannot be removed via removeparam."
EDITED: Wiki has been updated

Duplicate of #1951 / #1767 / #1704.

and you get the issue repeatedly?

• I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue.

Perhaps too much cursory.
