Sometimes the $removeparam= parameter does not work

[DeepChirp]

Prerequisites

• I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue
• The issue is not present after wholly disabling uBlock Origin ("uBO") in the browser
• I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I report is not a normal behavior

I tried to reproduce the issue when...

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

Description

If the page is not reloaded and the link in the address bar is changed, the parameters in the address bar are not automatically cleared.

A specific URL where the issue occurs

https://www.baidu.com/s?wd=Test&rsv_spt=1&rsv_iqid=0xa83b935b000249f8&issp=1&f=8&rsv_bp=1&rsv_idx=2&ie=utf-8&rqlang=cn&tn=baiduhome_pg&rsv_enter=0&rsv_dl=tb&oq=Test&rsv_btype=t&rsv_t=01c48EfWFiNRaqUEe4zGwXwnOqY5SawI8LatW4wHB3AAVN9s5wUo2c27lp0&rsv_pq=bdd8c98800097d0c

Steps to Reproduce

• Add the following rules

||baidu.com^$removeparam=/^rsv/
||baidu.com^$removeparam=cl
||baidu.com^$removeparam=f
||baidu.com^$removeparam=fr
||baidu.com^$removeparam=hisfilter
||baidu.com^$removeparam=inputT
||baidu.com^$removeparam=issp
||baidu.com^$removeparam=n_type
||baidu.com^$removeparam=oq
||baidu.com^$removeparam=p_from
||baidu.com^$removeparam=prefixsug
||baidu.com^$removeparam=rsp
||baidu.com^$removeparam=tn

• Open this page
• Click the search button in the search box
  

Expected behavior

The first time you open it, the page parameters are cleared. But after clicking the search button in the search bar, the page parameters will not be cleared.

Actual behavior

Web parameters should be cleaned whenever.

Configuration

No need

[uBlock-user]

$removeparam will only work on network requests, location url changed without firing a network request won't have params removed.

Yes, duplicate of #1704. I verified with AdGuard, and the behavior is the same as with uBO. However, I can understand the confusion and I will investigate whether a somewhat trivial fix is possible before closing.

Really? A duplicate of #1704

I'm sorry that since I'm not good with English, I didn't search for a similar question.

There is no easy solution for this, there is no extensions API for just changing the URL without causing a reload of the page. There is loadReplace in Firefox (not Chromium), but a page reload still occurs. The only solutions I can think of would involve dubious code to detect when the URL changes in the address bar, and I rather not go there for now.
