Manipulating query strings with URLSearchParams
— The `URLSearchParams` class, in [every modern browser](https://caniuse.com/?search=URLSearchParams) since IE 11, provides a sensible API for manipulating query string parameters in JavaScript. I first used it to build Datasette's column action menu, see [table.js](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/blob/0.50a0/datasette/static/table.js) and [issue 981](https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/981).
