This is how GET works, every single parameter is visible regardless of meaning.
How about https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/clearurls/ ? I use it on default settings. There is a chance you can set it up to clear StarPage's GET variables too.
But if there is an actual setting to use exclusively GET parameters by StartPage, they will just be populated again.
I just installed ClearURLs and it still has the tracking parameters, can I add parameters to the addon for it to remove?
Not every parameter is automatically a tracking parameter, some a required to provide specific services.
Agreed. Further, I doubt any of the OP's examples are tracking. lui=english just means to have the page use english (not spanish, chinese, etc.), cat=web means not shopping, news or anything like that -- just a web search, and while I;m not sure about device, I THINK that refers to whether the result should be formatted for phone, desktop, or such.
I use the addon Redirector for rewriting urls to youtube etc. to private alternatives. I guess you can use it to rewrite startpage queries.
