This the most tech illiterate take....

These are called query parameters. The standard part of the HTTP spec.

A huge part of the internet uses these simply as a way to instruct a page to display certain data or to display a particular view or layout of that data.

Calling for an extension to get rid of these it's like calling for an extension to get rid of headers because websites use them to pass metadata in the same manner.

Edit: that was harsh my apologies.
