celluloid, pix, hexchat, hypnotix, rhythmbox, LibreOffice

Those applications uninstalled just fine without any dependency issues last time I tried Mint.

If you’re unsure, make a snapshot of your current VM state (if your VM software supports it). Then just uninstall the junk you don’t need until Mint breaks. Restore snapshot, test some more, and so on. Those on real hardware should use Timeshift to create snapshots.

Tip: Run sudo apt autoremove package in the terminal so you can see which dependencies that are removed.

If you want to remove parameters from urls you can use the removeparam filter in uBlock Origin. Documentation: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Static-filter-syntax#removeparam

For example: /?igshid=$removeparam=igshid,domain=instagram.com

For the best performance it’s recommended to make sure the parameter is included in the filter as seen above with /?igshid, and with the domain it originated from.

Filters for the examples in OPs post:

/?igshid=$removeparam=igshid,domain=instagram.com
?is_from_webapp$removeparam=is_from_webapp,domain=tiktok.com
&t=$removeparam=/^amp;/,domain=x.com

There’s also a filter that removes a lot of known params: https://github.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/blob/master/LegitimateURLShortener.txt
