[Enhancement] Add option to *automatically* visit embedded URLs w/o tracker · Issue #1784 · uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues · GitHub

Prerequisites I tried to reproduce the issue when... Description

This is related to #524, which discussed decoding the embedded target URL from a tracking link in order to visit the target URL directly. The author of that issue didn't realize that UBO already performs this function; however, I am opening this issue to request that an option be added to perform this function automatically.

A specific URL where the issue occurs

https://clickserve.dartsearch.net/link/click?lid=92700066828755385&ds_s_kwgid=58700007438573770&ds_s_inventory_feed_id=97700000008788619&ds_a_cid=593251564&ds_a_caid=14889755037&ds_a_agid=129004833835&ds_a_lid=pla-1435658028215&&ds_e_adid=79233728385239&ds_e_target_id=pla-4582833208586567&ds_e_product_group_id=4582833208586567&ds_e_product_id=238373&ds_e_product_country=US&ds_e_product_language=EN&ds_e_product_channel=Online&ds_e_network=s&ds_url_v=2&ds_dest_url=https://www.gamestop.com/electronics/cell-phones/accessories/microsd-cards/products/pny-512gb-elite-usb-3.1-gen-1c-flash-drive/238373.html?gclid=13edb60cb04f1f7c91b4d776002f80bd&gclsrc=3p.ds&msclkid=13edb60cb04f1f7c91b4d776002f80bd&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=%24PLA_%24BNG_%24NB_Category_Electronics&utm_term=4582833208586567&utm_content=Electronics_All_Other_Products

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Click a tracking link (like the example given above) that triggers the UBO redirect page that says, "uBlock Origin has prevented the following page from loading: [...]"
  2. Click the symbol of the magnifying glass with a plus "+" in it.
  3. Find the entry that says either url = or ds_dest_url = (or some other way the target URL is encoded), if it exists.
  4. Find its subentry that says without parameters = if it exists.
  5. Click on the URL following that entry.
Expected behavior

Ideally, when the original link is clicked, UBO would automatically navigate to the tracker-free target URL. The UBO redirection page would not appear at all, and the user would not have to perform all the steps listed above.

Actual behavior
