Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep/issues/1873

Describe the feature you'd like

Set specific URL parameters to be ignored when comparing a link for uniqueness. For example, setting it to ignore "list" and "index" parameters on all "youtube.com" links would allow for these to all be recognized as the same video:
youtube.com/watch?v=abcd123&list=WL&index=55
youtube.com/watch?v=abcd123&list=Test&index=2
youtube.com/watch?v=abcd123

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

For me this would be very useful for saving videos from a youtube playlist, where sometimes the index or playlist name might change. I'm sure there are other cases for sites like news or shopping sites (where a redirect URL or affiliate code might be part of the address).

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

You can manually re-write the URL before saving, but that's VERY tedious.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

I understand the problem but it's not clear to me how this can be configured in a user friendly way :)

Perhaps an interface where one could list out URL parameters to ignore for certain domains? Maybe a table that looks like this:

Domain	URL parameters to ignore
youtube.com	list, index

Then when adding a link, we'd just need to add something that says "check if the link has domain name in list, if so, use regex (or something similar) to recognize & remove those URL parameters before continuing on". This would be before any validation logic for duplicate URLs, so that would take care of the rest!

A button that would go through and "apply" those rules to existing links too would be helpful (although then you'd have to figure out how to deal with conflicts so that's a whole other thing).

I suppose for now I could write something to do with using Karakeep's API, but it'd be super nice to have it integrated in the app. I'd be happy to help write it!
