en it works but occasionally breaks request with query string which is not formatted in key-value pairs. e.g. http://foo/?non_keyvalue_pair_string => Internal Redirect => http://foo/?non_keyvalue_pair_string=

It does what it says. BUT, it breaks some websites. Biggest example is LinkedIn. Search, messaging and many other features stop working when this extension is active.

It is good in general, but it re-encodes parameters containing UTF-8 chars wrongly. For example: ?query=p%E4ris comes to ?query=p%EF%BF%BDris

Buggy, it adds an extra equal sign to the URLs with parameters without values, causing errors.

Works quite good, except one nuisance. If any URL contains spaces encoded as %20, it changes it to +. I frequently use a search engine which demands spaces encoded as %20 and replaces "pluses" with it. This creates infinite loop and I just get too many redirects error in the end.
