No, it is the wrong idea, because you modify a string but do nothing with 
the result, so in effect[!!], you did nothing.

it is:
1 copy present location.href into a string
2 skip the front of the string
3 decode the result

while you should do:
1 copy present location.href into a string
2 skip the front of the string
3 decode the result
4 paste the result as new location.href

Well this is just as silly as thinking faith incantations have an effect 
upon the real world. 

Programming with an effect needs some knowledge of the language, logical 
thinking and of the programming environment: js-engine and DOM, for instance 
in thre case of a browser.

So start off with pseudocode of what you want, like the bove 1 2 3 4,
and then repeat your coding and logical thinking sequence ad nauseam.

Ad some debugging, by using the console [f12]
or inserting temporary alert(); -s.

1 copy present location.href into a string
 1a console.log(aString);
2 skip the front of the string
 2a console.log(aString);
3 decode the resulting string
 3a console.log(aString);
 3b alert('Now look at the console, please.');
4 paste this result as new location.href


You will get results in knowledge, experience and coding. Not buy pasting 
code from the web without adding your growing own logic and understanding.
