Thanks for this! For me this failed when the slash was at the end of a url with a querystring (
example.com/?q=something). I tried getting fancy and make the regex match all in one pattern, but settled on this after 15 minutes...
url.replace(/(?:\/+(\?))/, '$1').replace(/\/+$/, '')
@unledrob - that's not really an issue as the trailing slash appears to be a problem when the URL doesn't have params. If there are params you're best of actually removing those either before or with the trailing slash.
