HTML Preparation code:

<!--your preparation HTML code goes here-->

Script Preparation code:

var location_href = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2rvSf0STBM&list=RDCLAK5uy_kvhjcPWzH7xZL-WnqGbiA_euQGy5_cbHI&start_radio=1";
var location_search = "?v=x2rvSf0STBM&list=RDCLAK5uy_kvhjcPWzH7xZL-WnqGbiA_euQGy5_cbHI&start_radio=1";
var loop = 10000;
var loop_n = 3000;
var urls = new Array(loop_n).fill(0).map(()=>{
  let t = Math.round(Math.random()*80000+10000);
  return {
    href: `${location_href}${t}`,
    search: `${location_search}${t}`
  };
})

Tests:

Deletion with Url constructor and search params
for(let i=loop_n;--i;){ new URL(urls[i].href).searchParams.delete("start_radio"); }
Deletion with RegExp and replace
for(let i=loop_n;--i;){ const regex = new RegExp('[?|&]start_radio=\\d', ''); urls[i].href.replace(regex, '') }
