URL(s) where the issue occurs

https://www.audible.com/

Describe the issue

When clicking on a "series" link in the Audible search, the user is redirected through https://www.audible.com/search-redirection?keywords=&k=dungeon+crawler+carl+series&ref=web_search_suggested_srs_1_1 [...]; removing ref from that URL causes the user to be sent to the wrong page, resulting in an error.

Screenshot(s)

Versions

  • Browser/version: Firefox 152.0.6
  • uBlock Origin version: 1.72.3b3

Settings

  • "AdGuard/uBO – URL Tracking Protection" enabled

Notes

See DandelionSprout/adfilt#163 (reply in thread)
This is the same fix I added to Legit URL in DandelionSprout/adfilt@c1d777d
It's the same problematic filter in both lists, but I confirmed the patch works for "AdGuard/uBO – URL Tracking Protection" with Legit URL disabled.

Since MV3 doesn't support domain wildcard, can you change to

@@||audible.*/search-redirection$doc,removeparam=ref

Thanks for pointing that out; I had forgotten.
Fixed in iam-py-test@247bad1.
