"Getting started" page unreachable

[ljubitje]

Clicking on "Getting started" menu item in extension's settings opens an unreachable page.
Setting page with the problematic link for Chromium (and Chrome): chrome-extension://fngmhnnpilhplaeedifhccceomclgfbg/options_pages/user_preferences.html

Extension opens a new tab with the following url: https://www.editthiscookie.comstart/
After changing the url to https://www.editthiscookie.com/start/, the page is presented correctly.

Same problem is present in the "Help" link located at the bottom of the page when editing a cookie.

I've inspected the HTML and it has the correct link, but in practice it opens the wrong one.

Environment:
EditThisCookie 1.6.3
Chromium 95.0.4638.69 and Chrome 95.0.4638.69
Windows 10 20H2 19042.1320

When will this be fixed??? It's been 3 months and it probably is simply adding a / to the link.

I've also met this problem just today.
With Chrome 103 on macOS 12.5

Probably, it is not so easy. I've looked for a string "comstart" and there is non in the code. Looked just for "start" hoping that the URL was created by adding page name to the website URL and didn't find any such place too.

The problem is that the extension is littered with links to the insecure version of the page, and the redirect from http://www.editthiscookie.com/start/ to the https page is broken:

curl -is http://www.editthiscookie.com/start/ | grep Location
Location: https://www.editthiscookie.comstart/

The workaround in the extension would be to update all http links to https.
