www.amazon.* URL Tracking filter

[Morku]

Can we start to debloat Amazon?

'By clicking around and searching' I found the following parameter which I added to AdGuard and the page still works fine.
Especially the products in the horizontal result have a lot of parameter starting with pd or pf.
Also search for products, click on the result, it will have other parameter.

Screenshot-1:

This is my (probably not final) list:

||amazon.*^$removeparam=pd_rd_w
||amazon.*^$removeparam=pd_rd_r
||amazon.*^$removeparam=pf_rd_p
||amazon.*^$removeparam=pf_rd_r
||amazon.*^$removeparam=pd_rd_wg
||amazon.*^$removeparam=pd_gw_unk
||amazon.*^$removeparam=pd_rd_i
||amazon.*^$removeparam=pf_rd_m
||amazon.*^$removeparam=pf_rd_s
||amazon.*^$removeparam=pf_rd_t
||amazon.*^$removeparam=pf_rd_i
||amazon.*^$removeparam=ref_
||amazon.*^$removeparam=_encoding
||amazon.*^$removeparam=ie
||amazon.*^$removeparam=qid
||amazon.*^$removeparam=sr
||amazon.*^$removeparam=keywords
||amazon.*^$removeparam=s
||amazon.*^$removeparam=storeType
||amazon.*^$removeparam=pageType
||amazon.*^$removeparam=refRID
||amazon.*^$removeparam=psc
||amazon.*^$removeparam=dchild

There is one more parameter which won't work to remove: ||amazon.*^$removeparam=ref
When I add it, it still in the URL, but isn't necessary for the work of the page. Maybe you can find a solution.

It will be difficult to find specific parameter again if you will ask for, but I will try.

Better provide all urls with these parameters(do not remove values, but you may change some)

[Alex-302]

||amazon.*^$removeparam=keywords

Definitely bad rule - breaks suggestions.

I guess we can add these rules:

||amazon.*$removeparam=ref
||amazon.*$removeparam=ref_
||amazon.*$removeparam=smid
||amazon.*$removeparam=pf_rd_p
||amazon.*$removeparam=pf_rd_r
||amazon.*$removeparam=pd_rd_r
||amazon.*$removeparam=pd_rd_w
||amazon.*$removeparam=pd_rd_wg
||amazon.*$removeparam=pd_rd_i
||amazon.*$removeparam=pf_rd_i
||amazon.*$removeparam=pf_rd_t
||amazon.*$removeparam=pf_rd_s
||amazon.*$removeparam=refRID
||amazon.*$removeparam=pf_rd_m
||amazon.*$removeparam=qid

Will test some time.

If you are looking for a parameter which might miss to check, let me know.

[Alex-302]

Ok, added to the list above

||amazon.*$removeparam=pf_rd_m
||amazon.*$removeparam=qid

not sure about another parameters(they can be used for technical purposes).

[Morku]

How we can find out the 'technical purpose'?

Sure, I can't test every way people will browse the page and to be honest, I didn't check the whole purchase checkout.

[Alex-302]

Will try to test purchase tomorrow.

I got a link from someone, but it's hard to figure out how the person got the result. It has a lot of other paramter:

https://www.amazon.de/Teekanne-frio-4er-Pack-Pfirsich/dp/B01E059VLE/ref=asc_df_B01E059VLE/?tag=googshopde-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310635158110&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13859153460388015589&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9042954&hvtargid=pla-561353150373&psc=1&th=1&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=65495602927&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=310635158110&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13859153460388015589&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9042954&hvtargid=pla-561353150373

All information I got was "I searched for Frio Teekanne" on "my Startscreen" and shared to the messenger. No using an Amazon App. Using Android.
I don't know if searched in Chrome oder some Google searchbar. I don't use Android, I can't verify.

[Morku]

When I duckduckgo of some of the new parameter of my last reported link, I can find Amazon result.
For example:

Screenshot-1:

https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=hvpone&ia=web

Screenshot-2:

Unfortunately I still didn't figure out, what's the normal way of source to get an Amazon result with this different parameters.

@Alex-302
Why are the other Tracking parameter not relevant?

[Alex-302]

They are empty, the purpose is unknown.
