I've made a little updated version where I added my url parser to grab the relevant parameters and recreate the links rather than cutting irrelevant ones off.

It also uses history.pushState rather than location.replace to change the url bar so it won't reload the page.

@tfr , Can you update your new version so it doesn't reload the page ?
TIA.

That actually works really well.

Except history.replaceState(null,null,url); replaces the page URL, while history.pushState(null,null,url); keeps the old url in the navigation history, so pressing back will go to the unwanted url.
