It's not an easy problem to solve because url parameters are totally valid in some cases, like for the aforementioned timestamp on YouTube, or searching on Google. For example if I search "something awful" on google in a private window I get the following:

code:

https://www.google.com/search?q=something+awful&

Where there's literally 1105 more characters appended at the end. All of it is probably used to identify who I am, while the part above is sufficient to actually run the search (without the &).

Not sure how you would make a single rule that would stop out all these extra parameters, while also keeping the ones that matter, like q= in this case.

But anyway, I do have a shortcut for this that I made some time ago. It won't work for things like Google because it'll strip everting after the "?" sign. But it works for most websites.

Highlight a url or share the link, select the shortcut, and then copy the resulting URL's
