Hello.

After the go-away module has finished working, the URL contains unnecessary service parameters.
For example: https: // inv.nadeko.net/watch?__goaway_challenge=resource-load&__goaway_id=722b38a56b7c8f497cb319e161eb9cc8&v=D9HSPW6lMHM

This creates inconveniences

when copying the URL from the address bar,
when creating a QR code for the URL,
when adding the URL to bookmarks,
when saving the URL in a session manager.

Please make it so that after go-away module finishes working, the URL is normal and clean ( https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=D9HSPW6lMHM ).

Thank you.

Just wanted to reaffirm what has been posted here and emphasis just how annoying it is to have the residual telemetry from Go-Away cluttering the rest of the URL. To offer a couple of examples, when viewing playlists or videos bookmarked at a particular timestamp, go-away can render the URL messy and at times difficult to read which can make grabbiing the identifiers for playlists or specific timestamps rather tedious.

I would like to see the issue addressed at some point so that the tool which should have otherwise been a server-side utility is no longer exposed to end users.

I'll just let you guys that I'm probably not going to fix this. I'm going to work on my own captcha just like yewtu.be did.
