Why no option to simply remove all URL parameters after a question mark?

I was really happy to find this extension for thunderbird and chrome. Thanks for the hard work.

Could you tell me if there's a way to remove all parameters for URLs to a specific site, or from a specific email address in firefox?

Are you looking for this?

Parameters can contain a wildcard at the end or before the domain sign:

utm_*
utm_*@omgubuntu.co.uk

That would only remove parameters starting with "utm_", wouldn't it? If so, no. I want to remove ALL the parameters.

Currently, this is not possible.

The workaround is putting all the letters of the alphabet with an asterisk and converting them in parameters you can use, for example:

a*@omgubuntu.co.uk, b*@omgubuntu.co.uk, c*@omgubuntu.co.uk

Removing all parameters would actually break some sites, like Google Search and Google Image Search (on Linux at least) if I recall correctly (because I tried removing all parameters somewhere in the Google ecosystem once and immediately reversed course).

It would be very nice to have:

*@example.com
[email protected]

to allow only s and just remove all other...
