Netflix URL parameters not removed on click #2498

Prerequisites

• I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue.
• The issue is not present after disabling uBO in the browser.
• I checked the documentation to understand that the issue I am reporting is not normal behavior.

I tried to reproduce the issue when...

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

Description

uBlock Origin with LegitimateURLShortener list does not remove URL params when clicking on a video in Netflix.

A specific URL where the issue occurs.

https://www.netflix.com/watch/70196252?trackId=14170289&tctx=1%2C0%2C383753a9-8687-4a60-a53c-be18c25ddf67-81757184%2CNES_BC905A0CC1350F2E821EEA46154994-B9F225DDE3A711-3D4F048A1B_p_1676524458178%2CNES_BC905A0CC1350F2E821EEA46154994_p_1676523944127%2C%2C%2C%2C70143836%2CVideo%3A70143836

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install uBlock Origin
2. Import DandelionSprout's Legitimate URL Shortener list (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/LegitimateURLShortener.txt)
3. Log in to Netflix.
4. Click on a content tile (e.g. a movie, a series) to start playing it.

Expected behavior

Upon clicking on a movie or series, the URL should have the form https://www.netflix.com/watch/<CONTENT_ID>, without any URL parameters.

Actual behavior

The URL has the form https://www.netflix.com/watch/<CONTENT_ID>?trackId=<TRACKING_ID>&tctx=<LONG_CONTEXT_STRING>. The parameters disappear upon refreshing the page, as expected. Logger only shows removeparam rules being triggered on refresh, not on click.
