Isn't it better to just copy-paste the relevant part of the link or am I missing something?

I used to do that but considering the amount of bookmarks I have it became annoying to always do that.

I think you got the terminology wrong. It's rather an URL cleaner, than an URL shortener.

I have very little experience with this so you might be right, I don't know. Thanks for the input.

I just noticed I forgot to finish reading your comment because I was so focused on getting rid of the German link. It's not my first script but the first one I published. My first one was the previous take on this problem with which I added a button to the Store that leads to the cleaned URL. I wanted to make it work automatically but didn't know how back then.

Thanks for your offered help but I am just stupid like that, I want to learn it on my own. (facepalm)

I would go with Sighery's method too,
done the same for a dozen sites (for various reasons).
Although i must say i love regex, not being very objective here. ^^

I improved your script a bit:
// ==UserScript==
// @name Steam Store - URL Cleaner
// @namespace Steam Store - URL Cleaner
// @description Cleans the URL for Steam Store pages
// @version 1.0
// @grant none
// @run-at document-start
// @include /^https?:\/\/store\.steampowered\.com.*$/
// ==/UserScript==
if (window.location.search.length > 0) window.location.href = window.location.href.replace(window.location.search, "");Comment has been collapsed.
It took me some time to understand your changes but yeah, your solution is a lot cleaner (no pun intended). I found it hard to write the script because I wasn't even sure what I had to look for. You never stop learning, thanks. :) It's not my work so I won't change my script but of course you are free to publish it on your own.

This is literally just one line of code. Feel free to use it. I'm only here to help you learn :)

Did it change? It requires an account now to download?

Well that sucks. Time to migrate to github, I guess.

wait no, yours are fine. it turns out vonRaven submitted it as mature content on accident is all. mature content requires an account, but your greasyfork pages are fine.

Aw, didn't know about this or I would have offered another way. Thanks for the heads-up.

I'm not even sure how he did it, because the only options I get to create a script are public, unlisted or library. No private.

I think I found the issue: When I published the script I saw a section about "mature content" and skipped it because usually it's opt-in but it's opt-out on Greasyfork. I have changed it now but it seems like a moderator needs to validate it first. Well, now I know better for the next time.

You can also replace the URL without reloading the page at all:
if (window.location.search.length > 0) {
window.history.pushState(null, null, window.location.href.replace(window.location.search, ""));
}Thanks Royal for making me aware of window.location.search. I didn't know about it, could come very in handy. :)

I used window.history.pushState in my scripts without problem.
You can also use @match to read easier
// @match *://store.steampowered.com/*Comment has been collapsed.
taking a mix of all of the above for my use.. so many suggestions ^^
in case anyone wants the mix i'm using. (credit goes to all the other people here other then me, mostly ofc vonRaven)

This is not a Userscript for SG but for the Steam store. I thought I would share it nonetheless since it's something that has bugged me for a long time.
When browsing the Steam store the URL often contains additions at the end like "?snr=1_4_4__100" to track where you clicked on the link. This is helpful for Valve to see what areas of the Steam store are used the most. For me it became annoying because I bookmark interesting games and ended up with lots of duplicates because of the different URL endings.
This script will automatically replace the URL with a cleaned one without reloading the page. So "http://store.steampowered.com/app/440/?snr=1_4_4__100" for example would become "http://store.steampowered.com/app/440/".
